Found this, the Old Gorbals Burial Ground was laid out by the parish in 1715 on the south side of  Old Rutherglen Road. Road-widening operations in 1885 led to disturbance & re-interments of some grave occupants to Cathcart & Craigton cemeteries. The last burial took place in 1915 & it is now a rose garden with the stones apparently set against the walls.
