Hi, Everyone,
Just a brief note to say that last week, for four days, I was able to occasionally enjoy the skirl of pipes again during a stay in Dunoon.  Found and photographed the DYSON gravestone that I'd wanted to see for so long.   Dunoon is quite a quiet place now, even in the summer season, apart from when the 23rd, 24th, and 25th August comes along, and the Cowal Highland Games fills the place.
A very helpful man at the Museum showed me some estate plans of the area, drawn on oiled silk from 1849-50, which were a mine of information...

I have just joined this group in order to tell you about a couple of my web pages with Argyll cemetery information.

There are gravestone photo images of most all of the Kintyre cemeteries and a few others.

The first allows you to search the list for your surname: http://www.ralstongenealogy.com/personquery4.php

The second lists the cemeteries with cemetery name links to an alphabetical list of the gravestones: http://www.ralstongenealogy.com/kintyrecemeteries.htm

Hi there

Following up my post Crawford / Shedrim ... are there any links for burials in Sherdrim/Sheardrim (now Minard) from 1800 onwards that might help me ::)

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

What I've been looking for is a link to the burials in Duror Churchyard. I know my great-grandfather and great-grandmother should be buried there (Oban Times) and probably some other family members. But I've never seen any stones for them -- I suspect because they were people who thought stones were symbols of pride and should be shunned at all cost. (Not much help to descendants.) Any hope that there's a list somewhere?
