Cemetries Skye
« on: Monday 12 June 06 11:34 BST (UK) »
Is there anywhere I can look up cemetries in Skye?
I am led to believe that one of the Ancestors was among the first to be buried in the "New Cemetary" in skye.
He was from Kilmuir by Uig so I am guessing it was around there somewhere.

Just posted this in answer to another question so might as well use again!

There are lots of old burial grounds around the Highlands so it is quite possible that the council department might not know them all as they will not be in use or not council maintained ones.

I would search CANMORE

You can either search a grid square or parish with category(?) set to "burial" or use CANMAPS and mark an area to see what is in there.

The Highland SMR is also online and you can search that.

Another possibility though more difficult to search is the CWGC site as nearly every burial ground has at least one war grave though unfortunately they don't give locations but it gives a name to use to search elsewhere.
