Newmachar Kirkyard, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Visited August 2014
This little kirkyard (churchyard) in North-East Scotland is lovely. It's in the village of Newmachar (Summerhill until 1928, and sometimes spelled New Machar on old maps), which lies a few miles to the north of Aberdeen. Burials date back to the 18th century that I could see, and the high point is the mausoleum of the Gordons of Straloch, one of the local land-owning families.
