Family Graves in Kilsyth, Scotland

I found all these graves just inside the front gate. I didn't have time to look through the rest of the cemetery. I really just started clicking photo's of headstones and came home and looked and identified them after the trip. I want to take a full day next time I go. I can't imagine how many I could have found if there had been more time. With Mom, Sarah, and Elizabeth we tired quickly and still had to drive back to the Farm. It was a fun day needless to say. 

Mom's grandparents grave John Duff/Anna Horn Barr. She never got to meet them but they always remembered her at Christmas with a box from Scotland.

 Graves of Livingston Family descendants of King David the Bruce. The cemetery worker told us the ground fell in and he saw the bodies. They are well preserved and photo's were even taken. No you can't see in it. Inscription says this branch of the family died out.
