Since I am stuck until I can find time to get down to Edinburgh and Leith Porter's register, or Aberdeen/Edinburgh and the Kirk Session Minutes, I thought I should maybe collect photos of the (very) few gravestones in my family
I am planning to go to Bellie Kirkyard (Moray) in the next few weeks when I can get off work and the weather is fine

but since I only have 3 stones, mostly in collateral lines, I thought I'd throw open an offer to anyone who needs photos there.
If you can send me the headstone reference from Libindx and a few names (if not the inscription) so I recognise it, I'll check the map in the Heritage Centre to locate them and get snapping.
If this goes well, I'll probably do Cullen, Findochty, and think about Elgin, in the future

Word of warning, I detoured in by Rothiemay on the way back from Aberdeen a couple of weeks ago and found that my ancestors gravestone there had 'blown' and completely lost its surface and inscription.

Luckily the Heritage Centre had recorded the inscription back in the 70's, but it was disappointing.
