St. Magnus Cathedral, Orkney, Scotland
Grave stones dating from the 1600's line the inside walls of St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. The design of the stone is traditional with several Orkney twists. The skull and crossbones remind us all (as if we needed it) or our mortality. At the time it was common for an Orkney bride to prepare burial shroulds for herself and her husband at the same time that she was making a blanket for the first bairn (child.) Orkney, Scotland
