I'd never realised quite how many flat gravestones there were just below the surface, with some dating back as far as the 1500s.

This morning, looking across the Clyde to the 1880s Gothic style Govan Old Parish Church, home to the Govan Stones, a collection of early Christian, Pictish and Viking grave monuments.

Viking hogback gravestones. The image shows part of the interior of a church. Five stone hogback gravestones are positioned on plinths on the floor. The two nearest are seen almost side-on while the further three are almost end-on. There’s a decorated screen in the background.

Viking hogback gravestones, part of the amazing collection of carved early medieval stones, known as the Govan Stones, on display in Govan Old Church in the heart of the town. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
