I think it really does look like the same little boy and the same woman.

Article of maybe some interest.
Pat, thanks so much for this link. If you scroll down to the Kirkliston Gravestone bit you can see another skull with glasses - also in Scotland! This is definitely going in my blog. Thanks again!

The deformity thing did cross my mind, too. If it is glasses, it's just the arm and not the frames. Still, the Kirkpatricks could have a bit of an irreverent sense of humor at times so I wouldn't be surprised if it were that, too.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Glasses-wearing skull
« on: Monday 08 February 10 06:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm a brand new member and I was browsing some of the fabulous threads here when it struck me that someone here may be able to answer this question for me.
I was examining an old Kirkpatrick mausoleum in Closeburn (Scotland) when I found this skull carved on one of the walls:

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a skull wearing glasses before? The mausoleum was built in the mid-1700s. Did it mean that the Kirkpatricks were scholars? Or does it just display their sense of humour?
