Boleskine Graveyard near Boleskine House, Loch Ness

Boleskine Graveyard is situated opposite Boleskine House, which was originally a hunting lodge for noble gentlemen built over 200 years ago. In the early 20th century it was owned by Aleister Crowley, a renowned black magic practitioner, and subsequently by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame, until the MacGillvray clan purchased in the 1990's. The poems and stories recount an attack by Redcoat soldiers on a Highland funeral circa 1746:

A funeral party standing
Weeping over the grave of their friend
Gravestones dotted around the graveyard
Some old, some new; mossy, all different shapes
Hated soldiers escorting a cart full of bread
A horse, smoothly cantering up to the graveyard, Suddenly stopping
Rounds of musket balls are fired in amongst the party
People flee and screams are heard
But now only one gravestone is marked for life
With three small holes as a reminder of our history.

Cold gravestones tilting in the breeze
The gentle horse trotting on the cobbled road
The cart jerking
Trees swaying like a lookout tower
Hated soldiers shouting and firing rounds of bullets
Scavenging dogs howling in the distance
And the dyke crumbling.
