Tomnahurich Cemetery, Inverness

Tomnahurich, meaning "hill of the yew trees" or "hill of the fairies", is a huge cemetery situated on Tomnahurich Hill, southwest of the town center. According to legend, the 13th-century seer Thomas the Rhymer is buried here together with his men and horses and is ready to rise again to save Scotland should his country need him. This cemetery is the final resting place for a number of notable Scots. Many fine statues and figures dot the grounds. At the highest point of the hill is an impressive War Memorial. The view alone makes the cemetery worth a visit!
