Burial Records From Kirk o' Shotts,
 Common Ground 1896-1907


The following records are in the order of the book, i.e. date of funeral. On doing a bit of arranging by number of lair, it seems
there was no set order of who went where, in fact the depths do not correspond either. 
For example, if you want to check lair 378 you will see what I mean. 
This is a large file 259 entries and the page will take a few moments to open.
