Balquhidder Kirkyard, Balquhidder, Stirlingshire, Scotland
I went to Balquhidder Kirkyard today. Usually mobbed with tourists but I found it quiet, apart from a noisy cuckoo. The ruined Kirk was built in 1631 and reconstructed in 1774. The newer church was built in 1853 and is still in use. There are Stewart graves, but far more McLaren, Macgregor and Fergusson.

Shuna Mayes lives in Dunblane, Scotland well within hiking, biking or kayaking distance of every locale where a Stewart of Balquhidder once lived. She enjoys getting outside with her camera and capturing sights that we would never have access to without her generosity and enthusiasm. 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.
