Hi Tom,
I was walking the dog through the Auld Kirk churchyard this afternoon. Like the others I thought that this was the obvious choice. But I'm afraid there was no evidence of your monument. It is a small churchyard and any monuments of this size are noticeable. There were a few but none of them yours.
I think Ayr Cemetery would have been a bit too rural when it was opened to have had any such buildings surrounding it.

Hi again.
Just ignore my previous post. I was certain the Auld Kirk was the correct churchyard,so I returned this evening and found your monument. It has changed in that it no longer has the urn on top.
I took some photos but I suspect they may be too big to send. So you can send me your e mail and I will send them.

I would say it is the Auld Church Graveyard. The buildings look like the ones in the high street though they have changed a bit over the years. I am not back down in Ayr till next week but will take a wee visit in to have a look
