All sizes catered for

Today a quick visit to a favourite graveyard, the ancient burial ground of St Fergus set isolated among the sand dunes at the edge of the North Sea. Still in use, it contains gravestones from the 18th century, and is surrounded by a high wall and provided with a watch house to keep at bay the 19th century resurrection men seeking fresh cadavers for the University anatomists. 

Set into the graveyard wall there a number of hitching hooks to which visitors could tie their horses. All sizes of horse were catered for with hooks being inserted into the wall at different heights!
