Cemetery Melrose
« on: Wednesday 08 December 10 06:25 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

There is a cemetery just out of Melrose, I found it on Google maps not far out of Melrose heading towards Newstead on the A6091 you turn right and not very far down this road is a Cemetery.
Can anyone tell me the name of it please and a little history of it if they know.

Thanking you
Christine
