My ggg grandfather, George Bryce b. 1782 - d. 1848 and his father, John Bryce b. 1738 - d. 1797 are said to have been buried at Kilmadock Parish in the middle of Doune. Would you possibly have pictures of their graves? Some of the family members had seen the gravesites when they were there around 1905. Are George's wife, Margaret Forbes b. 1787 - d. 1831, or John's wife, Christina Graham b. 1747/48 - d. before 1826 buried there also?
George's children, though, were baptized at the church at the Bridge of Teith. Is it the church at the Bridge of Teith that you said is no longer there?

I seem to recall there are a bunch of Bryce stones at Norrieston in Kincardine Parish. Do you remember the Bryces at our school Kenny? I believe they are still living in the area.... Balir Drummond/Thornhill ...

I am looking for information on Janet Sommers, who married Thomas McArthur in Kilmadock Parish Dec 7, 1771. Name spelling may have been Symmers. This couple would be my somewhere-down-the-line great grandparents. Any assistance appreciated, as I am only in Scotland for a few more days.
Regards,
Pam Palmer

Janet McGregor 1916 Kilmadock. James McKay 1916 Kincardine by Doune. Margaret Stewart 1876 Kilmadock. Margaret Stewart 1941 Kilmadock. Robert Stewart 1898 Kilmadock. All help appreciated. By the way have you heard from Gordon Roberts yet re the Lauder's. Regards..Patvp
Hi Patvp
Elizabeth McAlpine (d. 21 Mar 1870, Burnside Cottages, Kilmadock) and Walter McAlpine (d. 21 Nov 1868, Burnside Cottages, Kilmadock) are my 3rd great grandparents! Hopefully a headstone still exists for them at the old Kilmadock churchyard?
Also, their son John (d. 1872, Kilmadock) may have been buried there too, plus some more of their children? Actually, pics of any McAlpine headstones may be useful (got so many McAlpine ancestors in the vicinity it is not funny... esp. Port of Menteith & Deanston / Kilmadock families!
From what I can see from Google Earth, the old Burnside Cottages just south of the old Kilmadock Church yard have been erased from the face of the earth. I now have these sites clearly marked in my Google Earth Places 
However, I too would be greatly appreciative and much interested in seeing some photos of the old Burnside Cottages area and any pics of the old Kilmadock church ruins & McAlpine headstones if any.
Sadly, at my advancing age, limited finances and living in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, I see little hope of ever visiting the wonderful places my ancestors lived in Bonnie Scotland. 
Oh well. A few piccies could cheer me up!
I have paid Scotland GRO for death certs for Walter McAlpine (1868), wife Elizabeth (1870), son William (1880) if anyone interested.
Nice to meet you !!

As a lot of people on this forum live abroad, i thought i could be of some assistance in tracking down headstones in Kilmadock Parish (Doune,Deanston area) and get some pictures to send .
There are 3 main graveyards in the Parish, Old Kilmadock,New Kilmadock and 1 at the rear of the Old church of Scotland in Doune itself.
If this can be of help to anyone contact me on this post or by personnel
message.
Hi monks09!
Wow. What a kind offer. Where could I begin?
See my last post to patvp1 which lists a couple of my ancestors whose headstone/grave might still be visible at the old Kilmadock church yard?
I also have a huge stack of McAlpine ancestors who lived (and many who presumably died although I can't find clearly identifiable IGI records) in and around the Port of Menteith, Gartmore, Deanston & Doune during the 1680-1920+ period.
ANY lists of McAlpine burials from Parish records you might be able to find in those areas would be FANTASTIC.
Needless to say, pics of any McAlpine headstones and of some countryside in those areas would be an absolute bonus, since as stated in my other post, my chances of ever making it back to the land where my Scots ancestors roamed is remote to say the least  .
Cheers!
