St Serf's Church, Levengrove Park, Dumbarton

St Serf's Church, Levengrove Park, Dumbarton
The internal organs of Robert the Bruce were buried in a parish church close to the manor house where he died and not with his body more than 50 miles away, a historian claims. The king's organs are said to have been interred in the chapel of St Serf's Old Parish Church in Dumbarton although his body was laid to rest at Dunfermline Abbey.

Quoted from the Daily Telegraph.

Wow, what a before and after! Your pictures are super, esp your main image.

As for the information, my out loud comment was delivered with a wrinkled nose: "EWWWW!!!"
LOL...*shakes head*...you really have to wonder. Seriously? It's incredible that this has ever been a thing to do! But it's interesting, if totally insane-sounding! :D

In those days, a body could not be moved any significant distance without first removing the viscera. If the viscera were not removed, the body would putrefy. Thanks for your very kind comment, Janet. Cheers, Joe
