Kilmahog Cemetery, Kilmahog, Stirlingshire, Scotland

First photo stop today was Kilmahog Cemetery. This is a tiny little graveyard on the banks of the river Teith however it was full of Stewarts, Macfarlanes, McIntyres along with a handful of Macgregor, McLarens, Buchanans and Ferguson. Of the Stewarts, I saw some of Duart, Lendrick, Portnellan, Inverlochlarig, Auchnahard, Milton and Bochastle, Grodich and others in Glenfinglas. Many of the stones in far better condition than other graveyards – better protected from the weather I think. For me, a lovely look as I know (I think) I may have links into some of these lines – whether through MacFarlane or Stewart. I have included a selection of the stones but it is not so interesting to photograph or view gravestones en masse so I have probably missed off a few.

Shout if you have any interest in Kilmahog cemetery as I can easily go back there. Oh hey and read this about Kilmahog and its “morthouse” https://graveyardsofscotland.com/…/morthouse-bell…/amp/ Map included. The graveyard is not marked but the Lade Inn is (see PH for Public House) in Kilmahog. Graveyard between the Lade Inn and River Teith.

Shuna has traced her ancestry to an 18th century soldier named James Stewart, who is genetically linked to our clan, but remains frustratingly elusive in his exact relationship.
