lorn

In 2002 Lorn - by then a student in Glasgow - found a small white elephant in a gift shop and sent it to her granny for Christmas.

Lorn asked her aunt if she could unwrap it and put it in the coffin with her granny and she agreed.

Friends also give Lorn elephants as gifts and she keeps these ones.

When Lorn Pearson was a child she was fascinated by the big wooden elephant in her granny's house in the Scottish Highlands.

Among the places Lorn has left the trinkets to remember her granny are Lochaline, on the Morven peninsula, where Mrs Fletcher lived at the end of her life and where she is buried with her husband, John.
