Came across this picture of a beautiful tomb on FB this morning.
After doing some search it belongs to Bishop William Elphinstone the founder of Aberdeen University before his death in 1514.
In 1495 Elphinstone was able to petition Pope Alexander VI ( no other than Roderic Borgia ) to give the go ahead for the creation of a university in Aberdeen.
This Borgia's are forever popping up here & there in my searches
I'll have to have a trip sometime to Aberdeen to see this

Re: BEAUTIFUL TOMB
Your research keeps throwing up some interesting facts Kiya, I see there are already a couple of photographers in the background.

Re: BEAUTIFUL TOMB
Yes I did spot them
Have to get Roy to take me through there sometime but, not for a while as he just went off shore this morning for three weeks.
Will miss him tomorrow for my birthday ( I wont say which one, stopped counting a long time ago) but he did surprise me on Tuesday by taking me to the jewellers to pick something, as I love Amethyst I chose a lovely amethyst & diamond ring
Happy bunny
