Gerry,

I know this thread is really old, but the people you are talking about below are probably my ancestors.

I am visiting Scotland from the US and was hoping to find the graves of ancestors.  The heritage center in Motherwell was incredibly helpful, but they warned me against visiting the Globe for safety reasons.  I was very disappointed after traveling so far.  I even asked two cab drivers about going down there and they both told me not to go. 

Are there ever group trips planned for safety?  I am leaving Scotland tomorrow, but if I am able to return I would love to visit this cemetary.

Also, if anyone does go and is able to photograph headstones for me, I would be so appreciative!  My 3X grandparents were Joseph Fraser ( d -12-12-1896) and Elizabeth Todd Fraser (d-1902).  They are buried in plot ED39. Joseph's parents were David Fraser (d-1-4-1864) and Agnes Leitch Fraser. Elizabeth's parents were Margaret Armstrong and Nathan Todd.  I do not know if the 4X generation is buried at The Globe.

Thanks for any help!

Hi all…

I'm a Canadian who is resident in Scotland, living not far from the Globe Cemetery. As it happens, two sets of my great great grandparents are buried there along with other ancestors. I have been on several visits and each time I grow increasingly disheartened about the condition of the cemetery. These feelings grew especially strong after recently finding a photograph of how it used to look - so stately and peaceful. Now it is a sad, disgusting mess - not at all a place to rest in peace.

I'd like to look into the possibility of launching a campaign to restore the cemetery to its' former glory as much as possible. This will be no mean feat and will likely cost a fortune - which the local authority likely won't pay for. If anyone on here (especially those with connections to the Globe) would consider making a donation to a crowd-funding initiative, would you reply here and let me know? If there is enough interest on this and other forums then I'll draw up a plan and get the ball rolling. I'll add some pics from my most recent visit soon!
