Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

ils ne passeront pas!

"ils ne passeront pas", they shall not pass,  were the final words in an Order of the Day issued by General Nivelle during the attritional WW1 battle of Verdun (Feb 2 - 18 Dec 1916).
The sentiment is appropriate for the entrance to the ruinous Kirk of St Colm's at Belhelvie.
