Apparently the plots are called 'lairs' in the borders how wierd is that

If you know the details of who your looking for this has info:  http://www.scotborders.gov.uk/life/livingandsocialcare/death/graveyardsandburials/index.html  but there is normally a fee

But I would imagine one of the border family history groups have this info as well, or someone on here, the borders family history people may have all the inscriptions  and this could contain the plot nos

If your like me you like to see the images or the actual graves

It may sound odd but I see a name and my brain goes into overtime and tries to find an association ie James Bowie (on the hill to the right hand side of the road) immeadiately I thought of the Alamo, this is why I remember some names.  Insane, perhaps but hey I'm walking round graveyards!!

Hi Andrew,

I went to Wilton cemetery and Wellogate cemetery yesterday and found a few headstones of my ancestors and one or two I will have to check on.  I also went to Cavers cemetery, just outside Hawick and found a couple of Hogg headstones.  I have attached the photos.  They are not very clear, but one is a William Hogg married to Margaret Sprott and the other is Agnes Hogg married to James Davidson.
