I've just picked up on this from the Glasgow and West of Scotland Family History Society Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/gwsfhs), concerning a public meeting that was called last night over the future of Old Maryhill Graveyard on Maryhill Road - although the meeting has been held, it may still be of interest:
With the support of Glasgow City Council (GCC) who are responsible for the graveyard, a group of local residents have taken initial steps to set up a 'Friends of Group'.
The objective is to support improvement of the graveyard (situated between Duart Street and Shiskine Drive). Together we can move it from its current unattractive state to a pleasant place for quiet contemplation for persons of all faiths or none.
The public meeting, facilitated by CC, will explain how a Friends Group would operate and suggest how you can become involved. All welcome!
For any queries please contact kevin.mccormick@glasgow.gov.uk
