Sorry, Tony, that I can't help further - the inscriptions list is from 1975, (with 1427 entries), but no current map.

The Arbroath Shoppie website picture gallery has photographs of Arbroath Abbey.

I wonder if there is anyone able to take photos of headstones at Arbroath Abbey for someone in the US?  I can provide the names and grave numbers.  At this time I know of 2 or 3 burials.

Thank you,

Hello Amy,
              If you give me the names etc I will try to do that for you. I have a Memorial Inscription book for the Abbey. No guarantees , however as the stones may not be there now. The council remove fallen or broken stones. Anway, I shall see what I can do. If I can then I will send you a personal message with my e-mail address s owe can contact that way. Easier than posting on here.
       I live within a mile of the Abbey , so it would not be a problem.

Alex.
