I stay just up the road from the Graveyard at Ibrox and been telling people for years about old Govan Graveyard and how old it is 'Its actually older than Glasgow or round about the same age  ?also know about the stones that used to be outside Hope you do well and good finding 👍 .

I miss Professor Stephen Driscoll, guy is a fantastic lecturer and he's a joy to work with on site, he was at the field school when I was at university and he was definitely a favourite with us students, loved working with Dr. Kenny Brophy, and Dr. Michael Given too.

Wow very interesting look forward to hearing more once all the works are done in this area. I am glad they are preserving this it's important. If I could volunteer I certainly would if I were physically able to. I have always had an interest in history. Scotland is a very multi level historical place I bet if you dug far enough what one would find.

Thank you for posting this. Proud to have Scott ancestry.❤

Strathclyde, called Alt Clut in the Brythonic tongue of lowland western Britain and was called Yr Hen Ogledd by the others Britons, the Welsh. Both were Britons, not Gaels.

I knew Constantine. He was a good laugh. Never took it too seriously.

Surely the oldest Christian graveyard is at Whithorn abbey where the Latinus stone dates to around the year 450ad. Clava cairns dates to around 4,000 years ago as a prehistoric burial place.

Scottish guy walks into an English dentist and sits in the chair.

Dentist: Comfy?
Man: Govan!

❤❤ Being an archeologist you should love mud😂😂👍 Respect❤

They are ship burial effegies, not long houses.

Interesting

King Riderch Hael of Strathclyde Rhydderch Hael (known as Rhydderch the generous), Riderch I of Alt Clut, or Rhydderch of Strathclyde (from 580 – c. 614) This was a period when Glasgow, (formerly pronounced as 'Glasgu') was predominantly early  Welsh as many of us already know. Which does contain a tapestry which connects strong ties with the Arthurian legend. Historically, the entire story is somewhat vague as far back we go with St Columba converting the Picts to Christianity!

It’s a shame what happened to those of Strathclyde. So many sold as slaves in Dublin then who remained assimilated. From then on the Scottish had Briton ancestry but so little memory of it.

Judging by some of the remarks below some people seem to be unaware of the differences in the disposal of the dead in previous centuries.  Until relatively recently it was common for graves to be used repeatedly.  A corpse would be left in the ground for some time and then the grave would be reopened and the bones cleaned and removed usually to a building called a charnel house.  The bones of saints would often be displayed for the veneration of pilgrims.    The idea that once buried a body should be left in place indefinitely is Victorian. NB There is no point at which grave robbing becomes archaeology since they are not related for the simple reason that one records the past whereas the other destroys it .

There is much more than treaure to find; what about notable people and their ancestry?   That is more intresting news.

sorry this is not the oldest grave yard.  there are grave yards in the Howe of the mearn's that go back to the bronze age ..  Even at old castleton  where Mcbeth would stay  there is a old grave yard  now a farmers field .. might be glasgows oldest grave yard but the oldest in scotland .. not by a long shot

How many years have to pass before digging up graves in a graveyard changes from being grave robbing to being archeology?

So much for resting in peace !

Graveyard ... treasure ...? Do you mean bones for making soup?

Scotland was named after Scotia.
Scotias land.  
She was Queen of the Serpent people.
St Patrick came to Ireland to get rid of the snakes.....
Its a metaphor.
Scotia/Meritaten was the Daughter of Nefetiti and Akhenaten. She is buried in Tralee,  Co Kerry,  Ireland.
I believe Ireland and Scotland were once part of Atlantis.
