Join guides from the Kirkcudbright History Society for a fascinating Kirkyard tour.

Kirkcudbright

St Cuthbert&#x27;s Kirkyard in Kirkcudbright has a fascinating history, including being the site of the most southerly Viking burial in Scotland - of renewed significance now following the recent discovery of the Galloway Viking Hoard. There is much of historical interest besides this, not least the variety of gravestones and the individuals commemorated on them. Of particular note is the headstone of Billy Marshall – the ‘Gypsy King’ – which records that he lived to the age of 120. It is also said that he was legally married 17 times!Join the volunteer guides for an insight into this tranquil and evocative kirkyard and the history it hides. Exact details of the meeting place for this tour will be sent out after successful booking onto this event. Image credit: Images SW Scotland.
