Blairdrummond Cemetery
« on: Friday 03 March 23 17:07 GMT (UK) »
Can someone tell me if there is some sort of group looking after or tending to Blairdrummond Cemetery.
The reason I ask is because the headstone for my great grandparents, Peter and Betsy Rae Ferguson, has been removed.
I would like to know where it is and have it replaced.

Blairdrummond Cemetery is in the care of Stirling Council. Suggest you ask them.

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.

Thanks for that Forfarian.
Hadn't thought of that.
I will get in touch with them but they will probably say that they know nothing about it.

Stone was found not to far away from where it should have been covered in leaves and long grass.
