Scotland is a beautiful country, and when it's covered in a blanket of snow it looks even more stunning, and becomes peaceful and quiet.
This is the view today from Kilmaveonaig Cemetery in Blair Atholl this afternoon, a still, but bitterly cold day with more snow in the air.
We would like to share our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the workers at Perth and Kinross Council, and the Grave Diggers in particular who went above and beyond to ensure the road, car park, hill track and Churchyard itself was cleared of snow, salted and made safe for our burial service today.
The Grave Diggers are a group of men who don't get a lot of thanks, appreciation or thought spared for them. The squad today worked in temperatures which dropped to -12Β°C, digging, then filling a perfect grave in the freezing ground, thick snow, ice and a bitterly cold wind.
Thank you lads, we appreciate everything you do and all of your hard work in all weathers and locations through every unpredictable season of the year that Scotland throws at you, always there to lend a hand and always respectful and unassuming ππ€
