Hi Lorna
Sad to hear you have had no reply as yet. Keep at it and keep us informed! :D
They may answer yet - councils can be very slow.....

Best wishes
Lesley

I have my grouchy hat on today!
The department you probably wrote to has a habit of not replying.
About a year ago we requested, by telephone, some information about seats/trees as a niece was travelling all the way from Australia with her Dad's ashes. The person didn't sound really interested in our idea and by October or so we had heard nothing. This time we telephoned and wrote. Yes! you can guess .......we haven't had a dickie bird from them and she has been and gone. :cry:
On to your theme - I wonder if there is a Community Council who would take it up for you?
Names of interest: Perthshire- Taylor, McDonald, McRaw, Gould; Caithness- Cormack, Campbell, Sutherland; Berwickshire- Darling, Johnson, Whitlie, Forrest/Forrester/Foster, Barns/Barnes,Buglass/Bookless; Wilson, Thorburn, Cowe, Laing, Rae, Colven, Collin,
