For #TombTuesday, here's a #Viking hogback stone I came across at the #Luss Parish Churchyard in #Scotland. The hogback stone is typical of an Anglo-Scandinavian grave marker from the 11th century with a curved ridge decorated with shingles reminiscent of a Viking longhouse. It dates back to the time when #Vikings raided the area (around 1260). These types of stones are only found in the British Isles and Ireland.
