April 17th 1895 saw Scotland’s first cremation at Glasgow’s Western Necropolis.

Probably the first, best known mention of cremation is in the Book of Genesis when Abraham is ordered by God to prepare the funeral pyre for the sacrifice of his son, Isaac. This proposed cremation is followed by reports of others throughout the Old and New Testaments, and by the time of the ancient Roman and Greek civilizations cremation had been generally adopted as a method of disposing of the dead. 

With the advent and spread of Christianity, however, and the general belief in the resurrection of the dead, cremation fell into disfavour and by the fifth century the practice had become almost completely obsolete in the Western world.  To me if you are going to be reborn, as in the resurrection,  burying you “six feet under” negates the benefits, you’re going to be stuck in a coffin anyway! 

From medieval times until the mid-19th century the disposal of the dead was carried out almost exclusively by burial in churchyards. In the 18th century, secession churches and other sects (such as Quakers), particularly in larger burghs, opened their own burial grounds. In some towns there were separate burial grounds for the Town’s Hospital (or poorhouse), and for certain burgh organisations, such as merchants or trade incorporations. By the mid-19th century many churchyards were full, and burial had become a public health concern, especially following outbreaks of smallpox, typhus and cholera. The problem of overcrowding was partly solved by the emergence of commercial cemeteries; the first being the Necropolis in Glasgow, opened in 1833. In the second half of the 19th century many municipal cemeteries were opened by burghs and civil parishes. Responsibility for burial grounds

Scotland’s first crematorium was built in Glasgow’s Western Necropolis in between 1893-85. Others opened in the late-1930s in Dundee, Aberdeen, Paisley, and Leith. In the 1950s and 60s municipal crematoria were built in many parts of Scotland. From what I can glean online there are around 31 in Scotland now. 

Glasgow Crematorium was built the Scottish Burial Reform and Cremation Society (1888) was established as an educational body, designed to promote cremation as a more sanitary form of disposal for a fast growing population.

It became the UK’s third crematorium and Scotland’s first after a long search for an appropriate piece of land. However, when the land at Glasgow’s Western Necropolis was bought in 1893, it was two years before the first cremation took place on April 17th 1895. ( although as usual some sources say it was April 13th )

The Crematorium was built in the gothic revival style. The architect used only the finest materials, including red sandstone and rare marble and included fine carvings, dogtooth ornament and a ‘descending catafalque’ which the Directors considered to be less of a departure from a traditional earth burial.

It was all very well opening these Crematoriums but getting people to agree to have their loved ones cremated was a different story, in the first ten years at Glasgow there were only 191 cremations. After a further 30 years the annual figure was still only 346 but that did not deter the Society and, in 1936, they set to work doubling the capacity of the chapel to 100. As recently as 1939, 97% of Scots funerals still ended with burial, by 1977 it was over 50%. Nowadays over 70% of funerals are cremations.

Day 18 of 23, 2022 | Aikey Brae Stone Circle is the most original, complete, and "unimproved" stone circle on view in northern Aberdeen- shire. Like Aberdeenshire's other recumbent stone circles (i.e. stone circles whose largest stone is lying down), Aikey Brae was built by a farming community some time around 4,000 years ago. It was probably built as a means of charting the passing of the seasons by plotting the lunar cycle. The usual pattern was for these circles to fall out of use within a few hundred years, then for later generations of residents to use them as cremation cemeteries, eventually building a cairn in the centre of the circle. It is not clear whether that happened here, because although the circle itself is relatively undisturbed, the same cannot be said of the area within it.

Ah the memories of this #ThrowbackThursday will give me nostalgia all day! . This was the team from my first ever archaeological excavation. It was a fantastic experience. As part of my degree, we had to have a certain amount of fieldwork logged by the time we graduated, and while I could have done it in good old Aberdeen I decided to catch some sun and go to Portugal instead, to join an excavation run by PortAnta. . This organization is dedicated to facilitating archaeological opportunities in Portugal. It was founded by the wonderful Rui Boaventura, who sadly passed away at a very young age just a few years after leading us in this excavation. The fieldwork season included the excavation of the top part of a dolmen (pictured here) as well as lab-based work focusing on they investigation of cremation urns from another site. . I've heard many different experiences of people's first time in the field, and I think that I was definitely one of the lucky ones. We were a team of six girls in total, not including the local archaeologists who were leading the season, which should have been a nightmare but actually we all got along really well. The days started early but, because of the heat, they also ended early. After a rich and delicious lunch accompanied by far too much wine, we then spent every afternoon in the little village pool or at the community center, where we'd use the internet to download the films that we wanted to watch that night. The food was always delicious, and our site managers made sure that we were always happy and kept us well entertained, taking us to local festivals and events whenever possible. . Definitely a fun summer to remember! Although I must admit that I don't remember much about the site itself. Already then I was more interested in the lab-work, and spent half of my time in the coolness of the old village school with pairs of tweezers, carefully extracting bones, pots, and even on one exciting occasion a metal ring, from the muddle within the cremation urns. . To my fellow archaeologists, what was your first fieldwork experience? . #fieldwork #archaeology #archaeologist #portugal throwback #memories #flashback #excavation #phdlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuI_OEnBuu/?igshid=1lsv5009tahkb

February 20th 1874 saw the birth of the Scottish Soprano Mary Garden in Aberdeen.

Her family emigrated to the US in 1880, eventually settling in Chicago, Illinois. She showed an aptitude for music at an early age, studying the violin and piano and taking voice lessons while still a young girl.

In 1895 she went to Paris, France, to further her voice training. She made her public debut five years later in Gustave Charpentier's Louise at the Opera-Comique in Paris. In 1902 composer Claude Debussy personally chose her to sing the female lead in his opera Pelleas et Melisande, and this became her most famous and celebrated role. She was so highly regarded among composers that Jules Massenet specifically rewrote the lead part in his Le Jongleur de Notre-Dame--which he had originally written to be a man--for her.

She made her New York debut in 1907, in Massenet's Thais. She was acclaimed by critics not only for her superb singing but for what many deemed her remarkable dramatic ability as well. She toured extensively in Europe and the US and joined the Chicago Civic Opera in 1910, being their featured singer until 1931. In addition, she served as general director of the Chicago Opera Association from 1921-1922. Although she retired from the stage in 1934, she remained active in operatic circles, making many lecture and recital tours over the next 20 years and serving as audition judge for the National Arts Foundation. In a quote that perhaps explains something of how she approached life she said: "They liked me in "Thais" because I wore least".  Although Mary Garden spent most of her life away from Scotland eventually she retired retired to Scotland, where she spent the last 30 years of her life, she died in Inverurie on January 3rd, 1967. Mary was cremated and her ashes were scattered in the Garden of Remembrance at the old Crematorium in Garthdee, Aberdeen.  There is a Memorial Garden to her near Kittybrewster in the Granite City.

The Daily Thistle – News From Scotland

Friday 8th June 2018

"Madainn Mhath” …Fellow Scot, I hope the day brings joy to you…. So much has been discovered, recently, that Archeologists are calling Scotland the Egypt of the north… the only problem is it takes such a time to publish the findings.. the problem is the weather, as if you hadn’t already guessed.. The rain, the snow, the storms all in turn make excavation very difficult, unlike Egypt, where it’s the heat and the odd dust storm… but find things they do, from Guns to Rubbish and it’s all here for you to read about, in the comfort of your own home, with a glass of refreshment close at hand.. unlike the Archeologists that found what you are going to read about…

'HMS BOUNTY' GUN GOES UNDER THE HAMMER IN DUMFRIES…. A naval gun believed to be from HMS Bounty will be sold at auction in Dumfries on Saturday. The Bounty is one of the world's most famous historical ships because of a mutiny in 1798. Fletcher Christian led disaffected crewmen to overthrow the captain William Bligh whose authoritarian command they were unhappy with. They cast Bligh and his loyalists adrift in an open boat and sailed the Bounty to Pitcairn Island. The story of the Bounty and its mutiny is one of the most famous in naval history. Many of the mutineers settled on Pitcairn and on nearby Norfolk Island. The Bounty eventually sank off Pitcairn in what became known as Bounty Bay. When she went down, the ship was armed with four four-pounder guns which were later recovered. Read More: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OurPastBeneathOurFeet/

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH AMAZING FINDS ON ABERDEEN BYPASS…. Artefacts and structures found during archaeological excavations on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie to Tipperty (AWPR/B-T) project are shedding light on land use and settlement in the north east over the past 15,000 years, including Mesolithic pits, Roman bread ovens, prehistoric roundhouses and a cremation complex. Since the archaeological excavations were completed, specialists have been analysing the artefacts and samples recovered from the various sites and will be detailing the results in a new limited edition book due to be published later this year. Keith Brown, cabinet secretary for economy, jobs and fair work, said: “When complete, the AWPR will help to reduce congestion, cut journey times, improve safety and lower pollution in Aberdeen City Centre, as well as enable local authorities to develop public transport solutions. However, the archaeology has also proven to be yet another huge benefit coming from this project, helping to shine a light on Scotland’s ancient past. “The discoveries along the AWPR route, which would have remained undiscovered had the new bypass not been built, are truly remarkable and underline the importance of the value we place on meeting our environmental obligations as we plan and construct this new infrastructure.” Bruce Mann, archaeologist for Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council, said: “There has been a range of fascinating discoveries from the archaeological works carried out on site. Some raise more questions than they answer about what we thought we knew about the north east. For instance, a very unexpected discovery was the presence of Roman activity at Milltimber, likely dating from around 83/84 AD. Ninety bread ovens were uncovered, which were probably constructed by the Roman army at a time of invasion led by the Roman General Agricola. However, no evidence of an associated camp was found, which is unusual for these types of features. We can only speculate as to why the ovens were at this specific location, and what it says about what was happening in the area at the time.” “Going back to the very earliest finds, there was also evidence of stone tool production dating between about 13,000 and 10,000 BC at Milltimber, a near unprecedented body of evidence which pushes back our understanding of human activity in north east Scotland by several thousand years. The same site revealed spreads of flints along with large pits dating between 10,000 BC to 4,100 BC that could have been used by hunter-gatherers to trap deer, elks or aurochs (an ancestor of modern bison). What is particularly exciting is that these finds have been made in an area where our knowledge is rapidly expanding through research projects such as Mesolithic Deeside.”

'TREASURE TROVE' DISCOVERED AT ANCIENT FORT DESTROYED BY VIKINGS…. A ‘treasure trove’ of ancient artifacts has been discovered at a fort in Scotland that archaeologists believe was razed to the ground by Vikings. Archaeologists at the University of Aberdeen made the remarkable finds at Burghead on Scotland’s northern Moray coast. The fort, which was once used by the ancient Pictish people, is described as the largest of its kind in Scotland. The fort was burned to the ground in the 10th century, likely by advancing Vikings. Experts say that this has preserved items that would have otherwise rotted away hundreds of years ago. Excavations at the site began in 2015. Last month a dig at the site revealed more of the fort’s secrets. “When we started digging, we discovered that while the destruction of the fort in the 10th century may not have been good news for the Picts, the fact that so much of it was set alight is a real bonus for archaeologists,” said Dr. Gordon Noble head of archaeology at the University of Aberdeen, in a statement. In addition to a fortified wall, archaeologists found ornate hair and dress pins, one of which has a detailed bramble design. They also identified so-called “midden layers,” which are essentially ancient garbage dumps and are likely to shed more light on the lives of the ancient fort dwellers.

AMATEUR ARCHAEOLOGIST FINDS ‘PHENOMENAL’ TROVE OF ROCK ENGRAVINGS…. An amateur archaeologist has tracked down hundreds of prehistoric rock engravings in Scotland in what has been described as a “phenomenal” contribution to the understanding of Britain’s earliest artworks. Walking in all weathers once or twice a week, George Currie, 66, a musician by trade, has located more than 670 Neolithic and Bronze Age carvings over the past 15 years. He told the Observer: “It was ridiculous … I got tired of recording the stuff. I’ve never come across quite so much.” There are many more to be found, he believes. Describing the thrill of uncovering ancient artworks that no one has seen for thousands of years, he said: “It’s quite a privilege.” Currie’s discoveries will be included in the biggest research project into British prehistoric rock art, a five-year, £1m study starting next year. The project will be hosted by Historic Environment Scotland (HES) under the leadership of Dr Tertia Barnett, an honorary fellow of the University of Edinburgh. Rock art is “relatively undervalued and little known”, she said. “This project is very exciting.” More than 6,000 prehistoric carved rocks are recorded across Britain, of which some 2,500 are in Scotland. Most have patterns based on cup marks – circular depressions in the surface, often surrounded by concentric rings, with lines or grooves that extend from them – and are thought to date from 4000 to 2000BC. Their original purpose and significance remain a mystery. Among other theories, academics have speculated that they may be territorial markers, fertility symbols, astronomical signs, or simply prehistoric doodles. A semi-retired musician and teacher of guitar, bass and musical theory, Currie used to play with a band, Darts, that had chart success in the 1970s. He lives in Dundee, where he taught in a local college. “The course stopped. I didn’t fully retire, [but] it did give me more time to pursue this.” Although archaeology was a long-held interest, his devotion to rock art began after he uncovered an unrecorded example two metres from a known site: “I suddenly realised that all these things hadn’t been recorded and hadn’t been discovered … I made a determined effort to find some more.” He travels regularly to Perthshire, which is particularly fertile terrain. He uses a camera, a compass and GPS to pinpoint sites on “wild, empty moorland, with nothing distinguishable for hundreds of metres”. Bad weather is no deterrent, he said. “In many respects, winter is the best time because the sun is lower in the sky and the light produces more shadows. That makes it easier to see rock art. It’s possible to look at a surface at midday in summer and you won’t see anything. You look at the same surface at 10am on a winter’s morning and, all of a sudden, you’re seeing something that’s entirely different.” Some art is concealed by grass or moss, as with his most recent finds this summer. Most are out in the open, he said.

ORKNEY ARCHAEOLOGISTS EXCITED BY INCENSE POT DISCOVERY…. Archaeologists say they have unearthed the remains of a so-called incense pot at the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney. It is only the fifth one of its type discovered in the British Isles. Other examples have been found near Stonehenge and in Dorset. Site director Nick Card told BBC Radio Orkney that the pieces might not look like much, but were in fact "very exciting". It was discovered by a volunteer working at the dig. The identification was confirmed by Claire Copper, who has recently an MPhil at the University of Bradford, and her supervisor Dr Alex Gibson. Mr Card said the name incense pot was invented by Victorian antiquaries. He added: "It was thought that the design would have been perfect for holding incense, perhaps in ceremonies. But recently analysis of the residues [in the pots] has really been inconclusive. "Other people have suggested that they were perhaps special cups, designed for maybe carrying the embers of fires for cremations." The pots seem to be associated with the disposal of bodies - either burials, or cremations.

On that note I will say that I hope you have enjoyed the news from Scotland today,

Our look at Scotland today is of Edinburgh, as the sun begines to set and the lights of the city start to burn brightly....

A Sincere Thank You for your company and Thank You for your likes and comments I love them and always try to reply, so please keep them coming, it's always good fun, As is my custom, I will go and get myself another mug of "Colombian" Coffee and wish you a safe Friday 8th June 2018 from my home on the southern coast of Spain, where the blue waters of the Alboran Sea washes the coast of Africa and Europe and the smell of the night blooming Jasmine and Honeysuckle fills the air…and a crazy old guy and his dog Bella go out for a walk at 4:00 am…on the streets of Estepona…

All good stuff....But remember it’s a dangerous world we live in

Be safe out there…

I do have friends but there are not willing to listen to my will so I am just going to write my will officially...anonymously.

I will write a bucket list for my sister for life to complete because she deserves the world...and more so I expect to complete that list before she hits the bucket haha.

I want my organs to be donated except for my lungs I want them to be sold and the earnings to be given to my mother, it should be enough to pay all her debts and put a deposit on a house and a car. I want my brain to be donated at the University of Aberdeen to use my brain for experimentation for Neuroscience or Psychology (preferrably).

I want the rest of my body to be cremated and scattered in my granddad’s village at sunset. The awe that I felt when I first saw it when I walked home from the park...I felt hope and my dreams were limitless, I want my body to experience that metaphysically.

I want the message of “fuck you” to be personally delivered to my father...let’s see if he punches me again for that remark lol. I don’t him at my funeral, none of his family, none of my sisters or my brother to attend that funeral. They don’t care about me and blame me for everything so they may as well to continue to have those thoughts. For his family, they have formed a catalyst of instability for my mind and shook the foundation of my life and I can truly in my heart forget that.

I only want my sister for life, my uni sister and my godmother to speak at my eulogy at my funeral as I know they have such a way with words and I want them apply those skills when speaking. The theme is sparkle...NO BLACK..we don’t associate with death.

My things should donated, but only my pictures and things that I truly care about should be kept, if you know me like that then you should know what I am talking about.
