Various sculptures which decorate the exterior of the ruined church of Melrose Abbey, Scotland. These include more obviously identifiable images such as the badly worn Virgin and Child (now a copy - the original was moved during the 1980s, and is in the site museum), and a ‘true’ gargoyle, complete with water spout. Also there is an angelic musician. The others are less identifiable; what appears to be a bishop holding a severed head, and two male figures. -- source link
