Pictures would be fantastic!

Any idea of a location of the stones in the graveyard? We have a relative visiting from Australia that would like to see them.

Also wondered if you have any idea if someone provides the same info for methilmill cemetery?

Many thanks again!

Hi Graeme  where are the Headstones
Bernard Thomson Stone go into the cemetery through the main gate
go left past the cemetery cottage and turn left, face the sea,
you will see a red stone boundary wall the stone  should be in the 4th row from
the wall just before the ground slopes to the left.
Henry  McBeath stone go into the cemetery through the main gate
go left past the cemetery cottage and turn left along the path till you come to a
 round area with seats take the path towards the sea and then the path to the
right? look at the background of the photograph.
Also wondered if you have any idea if someone provides the same info for methilmill cemetery?
