The story ‘Grieg’ of the stone in film
In 2018 the Grieg Society of Scotland completed the first phase of project Monumentally Grieg! to conserve and interpret the ancestral gravestone of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg at Rathen Old Kirkyard, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This short film tells the story of the stone and how it was saved.
And if you like our film, you’ll love our Monumentally Grieg! 3D model – let your imagination flow, and explore it here!
