    (Translated by Google) What is now a cemetery, tucked away in the grounds of the University of Aberdeen, was once a church - The Snow Kirk. Quite an unusual name for a church in Scotland. It dates back to Rome and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, also known as Santa Maria Maggiore a Nives, Santa Maria delle Nevi. The church is gone, the name remains. The Snow Kirk is now a cemetery, one where the local nobility and the university liked to bury their dead. Not all burial customs were appreciated by local authorities. Burying it was contentious and it was a protracted battle that lasted more than a century following the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. (Original) Quello che oggi un cimitero, nascosto nel parco dell'Universit di Aberdeen, era una volta una chiesa: The Snow Kirk. Un nome piuttosto insolito per una chiesa in Scozia. Risale a Roma e alla Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, conosciuta anche come Santa Maria Maggiore a Nives, Santa Maria delle Nevi. La chiesa non c' pi, il nome rimane. Lo Snow Kirk ora un cimitero, uno in cui alla nobilt locale e all'universit piaceva seppellire i loro morti. Non tutte le usanze funerarie sono state apprezzate dalle autorit locali. Seppellire era controverso ed stata una lunga battaglia durata pi di un secolo dopo l'esecuzione di Mary Queen of Scots.

    Historic site in Aberdeen. Only grave stones remain. Worth a visit if you have come across the Sna Kirk in local history.
