Description: St Peter's kirkyard, Peterhead The gravestone in the middle foreground is the family grave of the Grays, a dynasty of whaling captains who travelled to Greenland waters in the 19th century. The tower in the background is part of the old church of St Peter. It was used in the early 1800s as a look out by men guarding the cemetery against grave robbers in search of fresh corpses for the Aberdeen anatomy schools.
