Belhelvie churchyard is located approximately 8 miles to the north of Aberdeen. The church served the parish of the same name. Sometimes known as Pettens Kirk and built east-west little remains now but the west gable containing the belfry, sadly devoid of its bell which went missing in the 1960's.
The graveyard itself contains about 350 gravestones, mostly dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Also of note are two vaults, the smaller of which is partially underground. The exact purpose of this vault is unclear but is likely to have its origins from the time of the Resurrectionists - or body snatchers!
The church was built from roughly-coursed granite rubble, with slightly better quality granite blocks in the surviving south section of south wall. The west gable, which is complete, has a rectangular door at ground level with a rectangular window above at gallery level. There is a blocked rectangular window to the south of the door. On the apex of the gable is a tall, rectangular bellcote with ashlar masonry (so-called 'birdcage' type). It is dated 1762. Only a fragment of a stone finial survives.
The 1633 bell was stolen in 1966. Only a very small section of the north and south walls survive at the west end, as well as a fragment of the south aisle (which formed the T-plan).
In the graveyard are, unusually, two morthouses. One is a small turf-covered and vaulted structure, set mostly below ground. The other is a larger, later building in the corner of the graveyard. It is rectangular and has a wooden door. It would appear to be in use as a store today.
Fact that the Statistical Account of 1845 reported that the then late minister, the Rev A Forsyth, was the inventor of the percussion cap, which superseded the flint lock!
This is a ruin of a very old church of the parish of Belhelvie which stands on the site of an earlier pagan centre of worship. Sometimes known as Pettens Kirk. There are a number of notable residents buried in the churchyard which include the Rev. Alexander John Forsyth (1769-1843) who invented and developed the Percussion Lock for firearms between 1805 to 1807.
Church of Belhelvie was dedicated to St Neachtan, but at a later date St Columba was made the patron. The church was confirmed to the Bishop of Aberdeen in 1157, along with authority to erect his chapter. By 1256 the church had been erected into a prebend of the cathedral of Aberdeen, with the parochial duties being discharged by a vicar pensioner.
The church is now ruined but was a T-plan church, represented by high W gable with bellcote (dated 1762) and part of S aisle (containing fine but weathered monument to Innes of Blairton). The east wall of the church is probably part of the wall of a Roman Catholic Church. The cemetery is unusual in having two morthouses, one dated 1835. The other, possibly converted from an old aisle, is of uncertain date,.
It comprises a vaulted chamber 2.5m by c.2m, turfed, with an arched and chamfered approached by 5 steps. The water stoup from the medieval church was in the garden of Belhelvie Manse but there is now no trace of it. The bell which was in the bellcote was inscribed 'Henrick-ter-Horst-Me-Fecit-Daventriae-1633' and was stolen in 1966. There is a tombstone of 1722 in the angle of the masonry fragment of the what may have been the S transept, and also a heraldic tomb on the other side of the wall.

This memorial is located in Bucksburn Aberdeen a short drive from my home, I visited it after a fellow photographer posted some information on Facebook reference it’s history etc , I captured numerous photos and a few videos of it on a overcast autumn Saturday afternoon 3/11/2018.
Bucksburn
Inscription reads - “To the glory of God and in remembrance of the men of Newhills parish who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War 1914 – 1919 and 1939 – 1945. Their memory hallowed in the land they loved”
This memorial is constructed of granite and consists of a tapered triangular pillar resting on a circular stepped base. Rising from the pillar is an octagonal shaft surmounted by a lion and shield.
The panels below the shaft are inscribed with the names of the fallen of both World Wars. The Memorial garden was created by the Beacon Gardening Club with the help of various sponsors and children from local schools with a wrought ironwork banner, a cross and plaque from the local schools.

Opened in 1874, the cemetery lies at the juncton of Great Southern Road, with Riverside Drive and Allenvale Road with later extensions to the north of Allenvale Road Aberdeen Scotland.
I recently visited this cemetery, I was overwhelmed due to the number of war and lost at sea graves I viewed.
I will need to revisit as after three hours walking the grounds I still had only covered half of this massive cemetery ,so many war graves , I left feeling humble and appreciative of those who fought for our freedom, though still asking myself "Why?".
Aberdeen City and shire has many cemetery's, wherever I visit if there is a cemetery nearby I always walk the grounds and try to capture as many of Heroes graves that I can, my token of respect , hopeful that old soldiers, friend and family may find lost ones again.
Aberdeen has always been associated with the sea, trawlers, fishing , travel and now oil and gas , our cemetery's though have graves of many who lost their lives at sea, I capture their resting places too in honour of them in an effort to ensure their memories just like hero soldiers should never be forgotten .

Nachdem bereits am 17. November 2024 in Berlin-Mitte eine Großdemonstration mit Julija Nawalnaja, Ilja Jaschin und Wladimir Kara-Mursa stattgefunden hatte, versammelten sich am 1. März 2025 erneut vorrangig Menschen aus der exilrussischen Diaspora sowie exilrussische Oppositinelle und Menschen aus der Diaspora in Berlin-Mitte, um gegen Wladimir Putin und seinen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine zu demonstrieren, aber auch gegen den US-Präsidenten Donald Trump. Die Anzahl der Teilnehmer fiel in diesem Jahr allerdings geringfügiger aus.
Zu der Demonstration hatten wiederholt die Witwe des russischen Dissidenten Alexej Nawalny sowie die bereits genannten Oppositionspolitiker Jaschin und Kara-Mursa aufgerufen.
Im Vergleich zum letzten Jahr war diesmal die ukrainische Diaspora optisch sehr marginal vertreten. Die dort anwesenden Demonstranten einte vorrangig der Wunsch nach einem freien, demokratischen Russland bzw. einem Russland ohne Putin und die Beendigung des Krieges. Nichts desto trotz gab es viele Plakate, auf denen z.B. "Taurus ist das beste Verhandlungsmittel", "Mehr Waffen für die Verteidigung der Ukraine", "Go to hell Putin", "Ukraine braucht Europa JETZT" oder "Zerstört Putlers Regime!" standen. Putler ist eine Wortschöpfung aus Putin und Hitler. Antifaschisten störten sich an der Trikolore Russlands, die in diesem Jahr auf dem Protestmarsch vorrangig vorherrschte. Ein Plakat eines Aktivisten zeigte verdeckt die Flagge des Nationalsozialismus, welche von der sich lösenden Flagge der russischen Förderation bedeckt war. Weiterhin gab es Plakate wie: "Godbless Ukraine", "Taurus für die Ukraine", ein Demonstrant machte auf das Victim Blaming aufmerksam, mit dem die Ukraine seit über einem Jahrzehnt überzogen wird (und aktuell durch Trump), eine Demonstrantin präsentierte die Russische Flagge in zerrissener Form und ein weiterer Aktivist trug ein Schild vor sich her, auf denen er die Farben der Trikolore umgeschrieben hatte. Die Farbe Rot beschrieb er z.B. mit: "Death to Regime". Eine russische Flagge mit der Aufschrift "Russland für Frieden und Freiheit" war ebenfalls zu sehen.
Die exilrussische Diaspora besticht eigentlich seit Beginn des Angriffskrieges mit einer eigenen Flaggen, die nur in (hell)blau-weiß gehalten ist (siehe die Organisation DemokratiJA in Berlin). Auf die rote Farbe wird verzichtet, die für "Blut" steht. Die Verwendung der Trikolore war bisher vor allem bei den beiden exilrussischen Nawalnaya-Protesten zu sehen.
Neben Nawalnaja, Jaschin und Kara-Mursa war auch der Doppelstaatler Kevin Lick u.a. am Frontbanner zugegen, der 2023 minderjährig wegen angeblicher Spionage in ein Strafgefangenenlager verschleppt wurde und im August 2024 beim großen Gefangenenaustausch des Westens mit Moskau mit den beiden bereits erwähnten Oppositionspolitikern Wladimir Kara-Mursa und Ilja Jaschinwieder freikam.
Weiter waren laut BZ Berlin auch Demonstranten aus Estland und den Niederlanden angereist, um an dieser Protestaktion teilnehmen zu können.
An der Demonstration beteiligten sich Demokraten, Liberale und Libertäre u.a. mit Organisationen wie z.B. die Jugenddemokratische Bewegung "Vesna" u.a. mit ihrem Banner: "Democracy in Russia is essential for Peace!", die in Russland mittlerweile verbotene Menschenrechtsorganisation Memorial, "Free political Prisoners" Banner (Freiheit für alle politischen Gefangenen) oder die mir bis dato noch nicht bekannte Organisation "Europa Radicale".
Auch QR-Code´s wurden auf zwei Plakaten einer Frau beworben, die auf die russische NGO-Seite OVD-Info verwiesen. Von dort aus gelangt man zu einer Website, von der aus Briefe an politische Gefangene geschickt werden können. OVD-Info wurde 2021 von Russland als "ausländischer Agent" eingestuft.
Wie auch im letzten Jahr war bei dieser Demonstration vermehrt die Gadsden flag (gelbe Fahne mit Schlange) zu sehen. Diese wird zunehmend von extremen Rechten und Verschwörungsideologen verwendet, wobei weiterhin auch Libertäre diese Flagge nutzen. Früher stand die Flagge in den USA symbolisch für Patriotismus, Regierungskritik und die Begrenzung der Macht der Regierung. Ihre Bedeutung ist daher umstritten und kontextabhängig.
Weiterhin gab es Flaggen (sehr wahrscheinlich nicht angelehnt an LGBT sondern als Symbol der Peace-Flagge) mit dem Adler der russischen Förderation auf dem Hintergrund der Regenbogenfarben, was für Irritationen sorgte. Einige Teilnehmer führten europäische Flaggen mit sich, während andere Bilder von politischen Gefangenen oder Alexej Nawalny zeigten.
Bereits während der Auftaktkundgebung liefen immer wieder Mitglieder der neonazistischen Kleinstpartei III. Weg resp. ihre Jugendorganisation "Nationalrevolutionäre Jugend" (NRJ) in die Menge der Demonstranten. Erkennbar am Logo des Eichenkranzes und später auch an ihren Plakaten wie z.B. "Antikommunistische Jugend".
Nur kurze Zeit später formierten sich mit blauen Flaggen, Armbinden und Plakaten um die 50 Neonazis am Potsdamer Platz, die der russisch-rechtsextremen Miliz "Russische Freiwilligenkorps" (RDK/RVC) angehören, die auch beim III. Weg rekrutieren. Sie riefen u.a. "Echte Russen gegen Putin". Unter diese mischten sich auch bekannte Mitglieder vom III. Weg, die ihre Symboliken mit denen des Korps tauschten. Mitglieder des Freiwilligenkorps verteilten in der Menge ihre Flugblätter. Das Freiwilligenkorps kämpft in der Ukraine gegen Russland.
Dagegen gab es vereinzelt Proteste in Form von: "Nazis raus" Rufen und der Block rund um Vesna und weitere stellten sich eine zeitlang gegen den Milizen-Block.
Das Russische Freiwilligenkoprs lief letztendlich an letzter Stelle mit der Demonstration bis zum Brandenburger Tor mit.
Die russische Opposition (und auch Exil-Opposition) ist sehr vielschichtig und auch zerstritten, was Inhalte samt Ideologien und den "Führungsanspruch" betrifft. In einem Punkt aber sind sich alle einig: das Regime in Russland muss weg. Es ist ein Phänomen, was in jedem Land vorherrscht, welches sich im Umbruch oder in einem Krieg befindet bzw. sich aus einer Diktatur und Aggression befreien will. Fakt ist aber, das hier ein russisches Narrativ des Kremls bedient wurde, was letztendlich wieder negativ auf die Ukraine zurück fällt.
Auf "Länder Analysen" mit einer aktuellen Ausgabe von Boris Ginzburg: "Opposition – aber gegen wen und wogegen? Zu den Motiven der ukrainischen Skepsis gegenüber der russischen Exilopposition" kann man sich diesbezüglich näher belesen, siehe Link in den Quellen.
Vom Potsdamer Platz aus zog die Demonstration über die Leipziger Straße, Stadtmitte, Friedrichstraße (am Russischen Haus vorbei) weiter über den Boulevard Unter den Linden (an der Russischen Botschaft vorbei) bis zur Abschlusskundgebung am Brandenburger Tor. Bis auf einen Polizisten, der mich ohne Grund und für mich nicht sichtbar während des Fotografierens körperlich grob rückwärts weg stieß und nach meinem Hinweis auf die Presse zu mir meinte, "ich könne von hinten fotografieren" verlief die Veranstaltung ohne weitere Vorkommnisse.
Im Februar jährte sich der Todestag von Alexej Nawalny zum ersten, der des russischen Oppositionellen Boris Nemzow zum zehnten und der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine zum dritten Mal.
Putin sei verantwortlich für diese Verbrechen, erklärten die Veranstalter. "Darum gehen wir auf die Straße – gegen Morde, gegen Putin, gegen den Krieg, für den Frieden, für die Freiheit, für das Recht, ohne Angst zu leben."
Laut den Veranstaltern vom Team Nawalny Deutschland nahmen etwa 3.500 Menschen an der Demonstration teil, während die Polizei die Teilnehmerzahl zunächst auf etwa 800 beim Start des Marsches und 500 bei der Abschlusskundgebung schätzte.

www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/the-prayer-of-god-people-mv/
God’s people are raised before His throne, many prayers in their hearts.
God blesses all who return to Him; they all live in the light.
Pray the Holy Spirit enlightens God’s word that we fully know God’s will.
May all people cherish God’s word and come seeking to know God.
May God give us more of His grace, so our dispositions can change.
May God perfect us to become one heart and mind with Him.
May God discipline us so we can fulfill our duty to Him.
May the Holy Spirit daily guide us to preach and witness God.
II
May all people know good from bad, put truth into practice.
May God punish evil doers and His church be undisturbed.
May all people offer true love to God most pleasant and sweet.
May God remove all hindrance so we can give our all for God.
May God keep our hearts loving God, not leaving God.
May those preordained by God return into His presence.
May the people all sing their praise to God who has attained glory.
May God be with His people, keep us living in God’s love.
May God be with His people, keep us living in God’s love.

Opened in 1874, the cemetery lies at the juncton of Great Southern Road, with Riverside Drive and Allenvale Road with later extensions to the north of Allenvale Road Aberdeen Scotland.
I recently visited this cemetery, I was overwhelmed due to the number of war and lost at sea graves I viewed.
I will need to revisit as after three hours walking the grounds I still had only covered half of this massive cemetery ,so many war graves , I left feeling humble and appreciative of those who fought for our freedom, though still asking myself "Why?".
Aberdeen City and shire has many cemetery's, wherever I visit if there is a cemetery nearby I always walk the grounds and try to capture as many of Heroes graves that I can, my token of respect , hopeful that old soldiers, friend and family may find lost ones again.
Aberdeen has always been associated with the sea, trawlers, fishing , travel and now oil and gas , our cemetery's though have graves of many who lost their lives at sea, I capture their resting places too in honour of them in an effort to ensure their memories just like hero soldiers should never be forgotten .
God Bless The USA
by Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
