According to The Epitaphs and Monumental Inscriptions in Greyfriars Churchyard, Edinburgh (free on google books as an ebook) there was an entry for "The Hon Andrew M'Dowal of Bankton* (no inscription)" so Greyfriars Kirkyard is the correct burial ground.

Hopefully this publication might help you find the entry you are looking for.

Many thanks.  So it was Greyfriars.

I have another query regarding 'Fingask's tomb' which is in the New Yard. 

Whose tomb would it be?  A Dundas perhaps?  The entry is from 1785.

Fingask Castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingask_Castle was the seat of the Threipland family in 1785.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
