Hi Marilyn
"Good Luck"
it looks like a need a HUGE dose of it

No one seems to know where it is

I thought maybe's the nicely landscaped greenery would be a good clue.
I've been in a few and have never saw Landscaped grounds .
kind regards

Hi Maggie,

Have you any idea, who's may be buried in this gravesite? Do you have another picture, that was taken from a different angle? Perhaps that would shed some light on the location?

Regards
Marilyn

Hi Maggie

The only times I have seen garden areas in a cemetery was Gardens of Remembrance where there was a crematorium too.
The plants don't give much of a clue either. The only identifiable ones are iris.
There appears to be a hill visible over the wall in the top left hand side and the cemetery is on a slope with most of the visible stones looking fairly modern (i.e. 20th century)so probably a new burial ground rather than an old Kirk burial ground.
Not enough other clues to help much though.

Hello Russel
thanks for your reply
interesting thought that CREMATORIUM I'd say possibly yes as it dosen't look like a freshly dug plot(no soil visable where the flowers/wreaths are laid more like a well kept lawn like you say a Garden of rememberance .
You can tell I'm not at all greenfingered i thought they could be Hosta's

Thanks once again Russel
kind regards
maggie
ps if anyone is visiting a Crematorium anywhere in Scotland will they please keep an eye out for Iris Plants in the Rememerance gardens and if they spot some give me a shout

Looking at the photo I would say it is a cemtary given the headstones in the background. The 'hill' just over the top looks like the roof of a house and it does remind me of a cemetary I used to pass sometimes as a child. It was located in CLYDEBANK, maybe it is this one? Robert
