Libberton & Quothquan Parish churchyard headstone pictures
« on: Thursday 31 May 12 11:20 BST (UK) »
I passed this beautiful country church and churchyard on Monday afternoon and just had to stop and take some photographs. The weather was wonderful but the sun was in the wrong position to take too many pictures (or, I should have arrived 4 hours earlier). Here is a list of surnames of the ones I managed to capture. Anyone who would like to have a copy of a particular stone(s) send me your email address by PM.

Hi Lodger

Just checking things as I was looking to add your post to the resources board here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,504605.0.html

There is this showing currently, under Burials and MIs:

Liberton Kirk Churchyard www.libertonkirk.freeserve.co.uk/index.htm (click on Ancestors button on the left) and plan of churchyard here www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=NAS&id=RHP140002

The first link for Liberton Kirk Churchyard looks to have gone now so needs to be edited...

Is your post on the Libberton & Quothquan Parish churchyard and the Liberton Kirk Churchyard one and the same?

LFHS recently transcribed and photographed all headstones in this cemetery so any that Lodger was unable to get due to the sun will be available from LFHS

Lodger, I would very much like a photo of Rev. Alexander Craik's headstone, please.  Will PM you with my address. 

Thanks.
