# Kirkyards

> Photographs and transcriptions of 1631 gravestones (972 of 1859 inscriptions transcribed) in kirkyards and cemeteries around the River Tay: Tayport, Leuchars and Abdie in Fife, and Dundee. Photographed and transcribed in 2013.

Inscriptions are upper case, line by line as carved. Square brackets mark uncertain readings, e.g. [1877?]. Each stone's title is guessed from the first name in its inscription.
