Nothing yet.
Walked past it today as i do most weekends but tried to get in today for the first time. All 3 gates securely padlocked. I assume to prevent vandalism.
There is one bit of the wall which I will be able to get over quite easily but it was a very wet day here.
I'll return during the week in older clothes (dark coloured and a black ski-mask) and climb in.
A lot of the stones are in poor condition but I could see at least a few which are still in good condition, hopefully the ones which will be of interest to us.
I'll get back to you but probably not until next week now.

Thanks for the laugh Dave, loved your graphic description of how you intend entering the place
I saw you were surprised not many folks had asked for you to take a look-see. I don't know where my folks are buried before late 1800's and possibly a sibling of my direct line could have been buried at Campsie where he worked. He was one of the sons of John Crum(b) & Lilias Glen who moved between Glasgow, Dalnottar & Calton. Their sons born between 1768 and 1786 and their sons too spread themselves about a bit.
Wishing you happy scrambling.
