Watch-house and Burial Aisle, Banchory, Scotland

The 3 D model shows the watch-house in the graveyard of the Banchory-Ternan Parish church, Banchory, Scotland. It is a circular, two-storey building of rubble and slate with a conical roof incorporating a bell tower. The date 1829 is cut on the stone above the bell. There is a round hole just beneath the small window through which the custom was to fire a gun occasionally to frightened off would-be body snatchers. A burial aisle, which was erected in 1775 for the Douglasses of Tilquillie, stands in the middle of the burial-ground and incorporates a cross-slab in re-use as a quoin at the SW angle. The slab measures 0.3m in length by 0.92m in breadth and bears the inscribed outline of two crosses, one set above the other; the upper is a Latin cross with rounded armpits and splayed shaft, and the lower is a plain cross. A 3D model of the cross slab can be seen at https://skfb.ly/osQLo Canmore ID 36675. 111 photos DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone.
