Yet more evidence of an Alien Invasion of Scotland in the 18th century. Surely such skulls are not of this world ;o)
The 1884 statue of #Leitrim emigrant Margaret Haughery, New Orleans. Known as the “Bread Woman of New Orleans,” “Mother of the Orphans,” & “Angel of the Delta,” she was famed for tireless philanthropy. This is claimed as the first publicly erected statue of a woman in the U.S.
The tomb of the Kelly-Fitzwilliam family at St Patrick #2 Cemetery, New Orleans, which includes the inscription "I wasn't finished." #IrishDiaspora
Some of the huge number of Irish immigrant tombs in St Patrick Cemetery No. 2, New Orleans. Many also record the family's origin county in Ireland. Quite the spot. #IrishDiaspora
Proof, if any were needed, that Aliens flew down from the firmament and landed in Scotland in the 18th century. They were quickly assimilated and live amongst us today ;o)
