Yep. I do it as part of religious observance on certain dates - after Pascha (Orthodox 'Easter'), for example. And for personal reasons. And when I had the chance to go to Scotland, I looked up the church and graveyard in the little town my family comes from.

I've heard of leaving pebbles on a gravestone but have never done it. Do you (or anyone else) know what the practice means?
