It is possible then that the skull was in fact depicted wearing spectacles.

Article of maybe some interest.

Pat, thanks so much for this link. If you scroll down to the Kirkliston Gravestone bit you can see another skull with glasses - also in Scotland! This is definitely going in my blog. Thanks again!
