It`f fimple WM Ronnie From The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993): LONG S, ROUND S Long s is one form of the letter s that was used in printing and writing English both here [America] and abroad until the end of the eighteenth century. The long s looked like a lowercase printed f, but with the crossbar only on the left of the letter; it was used initially and medially but never finally in a word, so sisters looked like this: fifters. In contrast, the s we now use everywhere was then used at the ends of words and called a round s. wee minx [quote="Scary"] wee minx wrote: Loved this one in Ramshorn Cemetery....the old way of using....or not using F...canny work it out here at all.

It is years since I was in the Necropolis and didn't have a camera but lots of kids doing charcoal rubbings of the memorials for a project.

Cheers :) Pretty chuffed with them myself I'm always up for a wander to the necropolis if I'm free... you can never photograph it too much after all. So let me know when you go! As for charcoal rubbings.... they shouldnt do that for a few reasons.... Most obvious is the conditions of the monuments and the chance of them falling. I doubt the parkies would have allowed them and the teacher was winging it. The other reason is something about the organisms that cover some of the stones.... Alex Glass It was about 10 years ago Stu when there was not as much concern as there is now. We were trying to encourage the kids to take an interest in the history around them. Wouldn't do that sort of thing now. But the kids did enjoy their visit to the Necropolis. zolita1908 Alex Glass Necropolis Alex Glass Old Calton Graveyard Situated on Abercromby Street just off London Road. The road is a deadend but Abercromby Street does continue beyond the graveyard.

I was born (1947) in the old Chaple House that stood along with the old Chaple, next to the graveyard. I cannot remember how long I lived there; probably 5-6 years. I left Scotland in 1963. I think I am right in saying the building in the background is (was) the old St John's Primary School. Also I think the picture of  St Conval's cemetary was taken not far from St John's Church graveyard. Forgive my "interesting" spelling of chapel. poodiecat Re: Old St John's Church Graveyard, Barrhead hpjb wrote: Funny old thing, there I was searching for a "black pudding" starter for a meal we are planning when I happened upon Urban Glasgow and the picture of St John's Church Graveyard.
