Please could anyone ID this cemetary in Ayr

Hi

The large gravestone in the centre of the photo is my GGG Grandfathers and I would really like to know what cemetery he is buried in.

I believe this would be in Ayr as that is where he died in 1876.

Thank you.

Hi, it looks like a town ...

It could be Ayr Cemetery itself which was opened in the 1860's - its located at Holmston Road in Ayr.

Problem is the houses crowding in make it look as if it nearer the centre of the town

I would prefer a graveyard next to a church,
like this:

Probably the old kirkyard round the Auld Kirk in the middle of Ayr. Could probably be pinpointed using an online satellite map.

Wallacetown Graveyard or Newton Green Graveyard are both options .... both old graveyards and both were once in very congested areas which have since been partially cleared.

Wallacetown is off of modern Russell Street and Newton Green is near Weir Road

Most likely the Auld Kirk. the family lived in High Street, Ayr.

That also looks like the Auld Kirk, that Rudolf, highlighted.

Thank you Jonn,

I am not the expert here.

But, there is a larger house in the background (right) of the photo and this might be in High Street.
(or in an other street of the city).
