Hi Sandy As far as I am aware it is the responsibility of Dumfries & Galloway regional Council to keep graveyards in good order. They seem to do sterling work in the modern graveyards but the older cemeteries seem to suffer from neglect. Best wishes Ian A McClumpha Need help with your Scottish Family History research?
