Queen Conch (Aliger gigas). The Glencairn Aisle

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Queen Conch (Aliger gigas) from the Caribbean found in the aisle. These are often found in old churchyards and have caused a lot of confusion as to why! Many Scottish aristocrats had properties such as sugar plantations in the Caribbean and by the late 17th century almost every country house had them on display on mantelpieces and they were even used as flower bed edgings. Using them as decorative features in churchyards was a natural extension of this.
