If no-one in here can help, you could try contacting the Friends of Warriston Cemetery, contact details are on their site:

https://friendsofwarristoncemetery.com

In my experience, groups like this can often provide photos in return for a small donation to help their work.

Hello Brigitte

I am sometimes near there and could have a look next time I'm over that way, but I will wait until I have someone to go with. It's an amazing cemetery with beautiful stones but real creepy and quite remote even though it's in the city.
Could you PM me the map and full details.
Let me know if y get a reply from the 'friends' group before I get there so we are not both doing it.

Hi Brigitte.

Have you contacted our group via the website yet? We also have a Facebook page.

Parts of section 'Y' are quite overgrown with, mostly, ground ivy and some stones were displaced for some reason when it was still in private hands. This was years before Edinburgh council purchased the site in 1994. Lair numbers are not always in numerical order. For instance 609 is flanked by 121 and 368. So a little investigative work will need to be done. If there is no stone in place or can't be located amongst the displaced markers it might be possible to take photos of the grave area.

Regards,
Graham.
