Dundee City headstone collections (Scotland) - photos and inscriptions

These records (from Scottish Monumental Inscriptions) comprise photographs of headstones and memorials with digitised transcribed inscriptions for easy reading.

You can search for these records through the usual 'free search' and 'advance search' facilities on the website. In advance search, you can specifically search under the 'headstone collections' option as well as entering details in other search fields. With all searches, when you find a 'headstone collection' register summary, you can either purchase/download all records (photographs and transcriptions) for an entire cemetery or burial ground or the featured headstone(s) only.

The administrative area of Dundee City Council is located on the North East coast of Scotland bordered by Fife to the south, Perth and Kinross to the west and Angus immediately north. In this headstone collection, there are 16,700 recorded names available to search, with associated photographs and transcripts of headstones and memorials with digitised transcribed inscriptions.

All the burial sites together with the earliest date recorded for any readable headstone are indicated below:

Burial grounds and cemeteries in Angus	Earliest Readable Year
Dundee Western Cemetery	1808
Logie Old Churchyard	1775
Roodyards Burial Ground, Boughty Ferry	1802
St Aiden's Churchyard, Broughty Ferry	1808
St Peter's Churchyards, Invergowrie	1756
St Rule's Churchyard, Monifeith	1758

The transcriptions have been prepared by a dedicated group of friends, based in Fife, directly from the headstone and memorial photographs they have taken. Many of these headstones are extremely old and weathered, making the inscriptions difficult to read. It is therefore impossible for Scottish Monumental Inscriptions or Deceased Online to guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the transcriptions.

It should also be noted that headstones are memorials and frequently mention relatives and friends who are not buried in that grave. Also in Scotland a spouse is often, but not always, recorded by her maiden name.
