I am deeply indebted to the staff of the Registrar's Office, Keith who cheerfully allowed me to spend many hours in their office copying and checking the burial records. Webmaster.
Note: The Burials by Year and Burials by Lair information is from 1899 onwards and was obtained from Moray Council statutory records. However, the graveyard has been in use for much longer than that, as evidenced by the fact that the earliest gravestone is dated 1653. Efforts continue to try to locate pre-1899 records.
Note: Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data but sometimes the original handwritten documents were very difficult to decipher so if you find that some information doesn't seem to 'add up', please email me at dave.mcwilliam@towienet.co.uk and I'll recheck the originals. Note also that names and spellings have changed over the years and that some dwellings no longer exist. Again, if you want to track down a particular place, drop me an email.
Note: The Gordon-Duff burials are in a private part of the cemetery and are not recorded here.
