Thanks again John. I did manage to track down a Council spokesperson who said that entry is now forbidden, but there may be an escorted opening last week in June. Just a maybe! Woman at our hotel thought a boy was killed there by a falling headstone a couple of years ago.
We're in Edzell now looking for Golds, Dukes and maybe Pattersons. The Golds and Dukes were on my father's side and the Pattersons on my mothers side - no known connection locally - had to wait until arrival in NZ to get acquainted ! Thanks again - Graeme

John and Karen
Many thanks for your information  -it's great to have local information. All I have to do now is find somebody with a key to the old cemetery - it's chained and padlocked!
Thanks again

Perthshire / MacGregors, Callander

I'm trying to research my ancestor James MacGregor born 1829 in Callander, son of Duncan Macgrigor (MacGregor??) who was a builder (possibly bridge builder). James and his brother, Duncan were twins, the youngest of 10 - 12 children. I'm wondering if anybody knows where they might have lived in Callander, or really, any other information which might be relevant. James eventually became a Doctor of Divinity in Edinburgh and emigrated to New Zealand in 1881 for the sake of his children's health. I am descended from him.
