Monuments in Kintail & Lochalsh Parishes
of West Ross-shire, Scotland.
Photographing and recording all the stones in the graveyards of theses Parishes was motivated by a cousin from Melbourne Australia who asked me to find his ancestors. I soon realized every stone would have to be read, and so began the task, details of which are in table form on the following pages. For those of us interested in genealogy monumental inscriptions, from grave stones, can be a great help in building our Family Tree. Several stones here recorded pre-date death registration so may be the only source of dating information for our Scottish ancestors.
