Title A name given to the resource Pistol gun Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context ABDUA:15090 Description An account of the resource Percussion pistol with a steel barrel, formerly used at marriages in Aberdeenshire. Weddings in NE Scotland were associated with many beliefs concerned with good fortune and evil spirits, and most of them probably originate from before the Christian period. One belief was that evil spirits would be scared away by firing a pistol at or just after the ceremony. This is a steel pistol with a wooden butt, dating from 19th century, that was used at wedding ceremonies. It would be fired into the air just after the ceremony in order to scare away evil spirits, but this practice continued, with enthusiasm, well after the belief from which it originated had died out.

Title A name given to the resource Mortsafe Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context ABDAN:6001 Description An account of the resource Model of a mortsafe from Kirkton of Skene. A heavy section of stone has metal bars attached at all edges. The metal bars would be inserted into the ground with the heavy slab onto of the grave. The model is stored upside down laying on the stone to avoid damaging the bars. Label Reads: 'By pyramid or mausoleum or private vault, the rich have always tried to protect, from the depradations of graverobbers. The weath they took to the tomb, but during a short 'resurrectionist' period at the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries the profits lay in the corpse itself not in its accoutrements. Because the pauper was as vunerable as the plutocrat safeguarding the subjects needed a communal solution. The best protection was delay until the ravages of time could foil the bodysnatcher and the simplest barrier was a grantite slab too heavy for two men to raise rough hewn to coffin shape and laid on the new grave. This the resurrectionists circumvented by digging down beyond the slab and withdrawing the body through the coffin-end so that more elaborate forms of mortsafe had to be devised.
