I've just come across a brilliant point of reference.
It is mostly Stirlingshire but also covers much of Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, Clackmannanshire, Berwickshire and Glasgow too.
For a small fee, it is possible to get an index of stones in the cemeteries below, ideal for libraries and Family History Societies.
However, if you know specifically who you are looking for, and that the person is definitely in a particular cemetery, they will do a free search of the indices for you.
Email info@memento-mori.co.uk
For a fiver (5GBP), I got a full set of photos of a stone in Larbert plus a transcript of the MI. Brilliant! Quality photos too - see below.
Well worth contacting.

Much appreciated.

Brilliant Sandy. Glad you got a result. Are you applying for the photos? Would be great to hear if you are as pleased as I am. Dave
PS Just nipping down to the shop for the Telegraph. Looking forward to the article on the Italian campaign.

Not sure as not my tree, it's my friend's. 
I have just sent her the link and asked her to play. 
Enjoy the article.

Just an update Dave. 
My friend sent for one we knew to be hers, and got a word doc of the stone transcription and where the grave was in the Churchyard, also a picture of the Church.
The Gravesone itself she received 5 photographs off.
Brilliant for £5.00.

Have to agree, Brilliant!!! I found some people that I wasn't even looking for, where I really didn't expect them to be.
Dave, just as an aside, did I ever ask you if you have any ladies in your Forrest tree with the unusual first name of Veir?
Brilliant Lindsay, Glad the site helped you. Did you just pinch the info, or are you going for the photos too?
I'm not sure about copyright issues but I'd love to see some of the results posted here just to emphasise how good the results are. I must contact the site owners and ask whether it's OK.
As for Veir Forrest, I'll PM you.
Dave

Thanks Lindsay,
The address I quoted is what it feeds to when you click `contact us` on their site - so there is obviously a fault somewhere.
Many thanks
Mitch
You're right Mitch, there was a fault but it has now been corrected. The link on the site should now be working.

Hi Christine.
It's a good point but in my original post, and on the .pdf files within the site, the site owners have indicated ... "Those locations marked * are complete and include every legible stone."
Alva is one of those not marked with an "*"
The site owners are willing to check for stones not listed in the incomplete cemeteries / churchyards.
