St Adrian's Cemetery, West Wemyss, Fife.
General ambience from the cemetery and its surroundings at St Adrian's Church.

This capture is from inside the cemetery grounds.
Though quite placid and tranquil, it contains sounds of the following:

- Various birds.
- The ocean in the distance.
- Wind in the surrounding trees.
- Distant day-trippers to West Wemyss.
- Children playing in the background.
- One or two passing bugs.
- The odd barking dog.

While the church building dates to 1890, the graveyard itself was officially opened in 1703.
One notable gravestone records a death occurring on the 31st of April 1878 — a date that doesn't actually exist in the calendar.
