On the right of the picture you can see the lower branches of an Atlantic Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) - one of the finest specimens in the area. Presumably this was planted during George Ross's time when he planted a lot of trees on the Sutor, including the beautiful avenue of Beech trees down to MacFarquhar's Bed. These beech trees are unfortunately reaching senility and are in desperate need of re-planting if future generations are to enjoy them. See this picture which shows the avenue.

No Craig, it's outside the graveyard - I'll try to get one before long.

Anybody know the significance of the broken crockery, wooden cross and flowers (some recent) on a grave in this cemetery.

I think you will find that is Gail Pocock's late husband's grave.

The fine Cedar mentioned is actually Himalayan Cedar (Cedrus deodara) not Atlas Cedar. Comment left on 21 September 2011 at 09:19 by John Miller

That makes sense. I forgot the mnemonic which helps in recognising the tree species by the branch structure - Deodar descending, Atlas ascending.
