A new 2-year project entitled Heritage Buddies (www.heritagebuddies.uk) is being launched by Stephen Clancy to record and research the heritage graveyards of Renfrewshire. From Stephen's post on LinkedIn: 

Where Buddies Rest: Stories Rise brings together archaeology, local history and genealogy into one project. research groups will survey and record Graveyards and then research the stories of those buried with. Talks and tours of the Graveyards will also be delivered between January 2026 and December 2027.

The first of several consultant/ recruitment sessions will be held at Paisley Arts Centre, formerly the Laigh Kirk on the 8th November between 10am and 1pm, where people are invited to learn more about the project, discuss the uses of the sites as heritage destinations and volunteer to participate in the resesrch groups.

The project is supported by Renfrewshire Council's Cultiure, Heritage and Events Fund, and is seeking volunteers to help survey various sites in the county and to uncover dstories of people who shaped the county's communities. Further details are available on the project website.
