Does anyone know if there is a decent map for sighthill cemetery? I have my great grandfathers burial certificate and I’ve been to the cemetery but I can’t find a thing.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat :)
It is listed on this site , with a plan but i'm not sure if the plan is any help :-\

Thanks, it doesn’t really match up. The record says he is in “compartment 2, class S, Number 157”. I’m not sure where that could be.

Compartment 2 is probably at the top of the plan that I linked to:

I'm not sure about the other part of your reference. Did you speak to anyone about the lair book/plan?

Thanks. I’ve written to the Mitchell to see if they can help. There’s no markings at the graveyard either.

Compartment 2 is at the Keppochhill Road end of the cemetery.
Here's a link to my map on FindAGrave.com:

Compartment 2, Class S, Lair 157 can be 'approximately' located as Section 2, Row S, Lair 157.
It would be useful if you posted the 'Script' number as well as a name & date-of-death.
