I have been going around Liberton cemetery for the last few weeks taking pictures of the graves and putting them on Find a Grave website.

Good for you - well done! :)

BTW the parents of Rev David Guthrie (1858-1941), whose gravestone you have photographed, were James Guthrie and Barbara Peacock. I have not found any connection between this David Guthrie and the famous Dr Guthrie of Dr Guthrie's School (Thomas Guthrie DD, 1803-1873) who was my 2nd cousin 5 times removed, and whose son, David Kelly Guthrie (1831-1896) was minister of Liberton Free Kirk. 
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Sorry, gremlins - my post was duplicated.
