The churchyard is part of Wandel and Lamington Parish, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Here is how I have often seen it. Possibly Bauhaus missed a trick in not using it as an album cover. It's reputed to be the home of Marion Braidfute, legendary wife of William Wallace. i have never stayed long enough to check if it has a pub or not. There is a cake/desert called a 'Lamington'. Lamingtons are named after Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, who served as Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. According to legend Lamingtons were first served in Toowoomba when Lord Lamington took his entourage to Harlaxton House to escape the steamy heat of Brisbane. Lord Lamington was believed to have hated the dessert that had been named in his honour, referring to them as "those bloody poofy woolly biscuits".
