Cadder Churchyard Cemetery, Bishopbriggs

28/04/2024

Hi Everyone. I Apologise for not being able to answer your messages. Over the last month my mothers health has deteriorated and last Sunday she left us after a full life attaining the age of 90.

I do these pages covering 9 local cemeteries for free. Im more than happy to send photos Ive taken to whoever wants them and I dont ask for anything for them.

My mother over the last 6 years has been given the best end of life care anyone can wish for at The St Margaret of Scotland Hospice in Clydebank.

The hospice is one third NHS funded and two thirds a charity. The cost of living crisis across all hospices in the UK, coupled with rising costs means that some of the bedrooms remain empty. People who badly require this kind of care cannot get access to it due to funding issues.

Please, no matter how small, could you please give whatever you can to this tremendous charity so that other people can receive the superb care that was afforded to my mother.

Thank you

Chris

ps...be aware of the extortionate donation rate Just Giving try to add to your donation. It can be adjusted before you commit.

Cadder Churchyard, Bishopbriggs: I took advantage of the good weather to have my first real look at the headstones.
Im afraid most are weather beaten and cannot be read. the majority of stones lie flat and are covered in thick moss making them unreadable.
In total I was only able to take 168 photographs for the whole cemetery. I will see the Archivist about getting access to the lair books.

An interesting article in the Herald from a couple of months ago....

They may be eerie and a little creepy, but Scotland’s often forgotten graveyards are at the centre of a new tourism boom. Sandra Dick investigates
