Lanarkshire / Re: Cathcart, Cathcart Old Parish and Linn

@damnonii:

Superb. Any rough idea in what part of the cemetary it stands ? I only recently discovered Macgillivray through the Glasgow Boys exhibition currently on at Kelvingrove Art Gallery. I have a print out from "Glasgow City of Sculpture" website which mentions a number of sites of his work in Glasgow such as in the Necropolis. Glasgow Cathedral and on the City Chambers. I intend to visit all these sites, God willing. I am even going to purchase a decent camera for this and other local history and art subjects.

Glad your father likes him. I might want to know something about Macgillivray and he might be able to help perhaps ?

Anyway, for just now, thanks for your help.

@Cathy1075, there's a Thomas Urie in Cathcart cemetary, died 1880. See www.findagrave.com. Just remembered the name somehow. A photo too.

Oh, right. I thought since I was notified...ah, now I see. I used other forums before and they only notified me if the reply was for me personally. Anyway, thanks for this. I am going to contact various sources about lair info. btw the details of the monument are:
Margaret and Annie Brown (1888) with a double relief portrait of the girls. I've recently had a look but, like you say, it's a huge graveyard. It was made by Pittendrigh Macgillivray a renowned sculptor.

I think you gave me the wrong reply; I was asking about the monument to two sisters called Brown.

Have you come across a monument of two sisters called Brown with a relief portrait of the sisters on the monument ? :-\
