Title: TURNER/McGOWN Craigiehall, Parish of Dalmeny
Post by: sheel41 on Saturday 12 September 09 22:22 BST (UK)
My ancestor was head gardener at Craigiehall Estate from about 1851 and lived there until his death at Temple Craigiehall in 1898.   His wife was Jessie or Janet McGown.   She died in 1871.   Can anyone tell me of the nearest cemetery to Craigiehall Estate?   Does anyone have any info about the Estate at that time?

Thank you
Sheelagh

Welcome to Rootchat, Craigiehall Estate info is available on Wiki. It is now owned by the British Army and the house is a Grade A listed building. The entry does not however discuss the intimate details about the estate. Thinlizy

Bit late for this but I would guess that Dalmeny would be the best choice.  Otherwise Cramond, Kirkliston & possibly Queensferry.  Was he born locally as that might have a bearing as well?
