photo taken 9 Jun 2012
a grave on Sanday, near Loth.
the headstone is carved:
To the memory of
Thomas Seater
Husband to
Janet Bremner
who perished at sea
belonging to Westray
September 8 18?2 (I think 1832)
aged 25 years
Whether it is an actual grave or a memorial stone I am not sure, I wonder why the chap was buried outside of a kirkyard...

It was the custom here at one time that bodies that came ashore were buried near where they came ashore.
There are supposed to be 200+ buried in Ire, in 'The Dutchmans Grave'
