This is a long shot, and probably a big ask. I'm bringing my mother to Scotland in October. She is 89. I've been getting lots of help and working hard on a doable itinerary for her.
So, today, she decides she desperately needs to track down her ancestor. I've tried to figure out this for her in the past and was just able to get a general region, southwest of Glasgow. Today, I quite easily tracked down her ancestors and I can trace where they lived and died. I found the cemetery where they are buried. I've never been to Scotland, but I've spent a lot of time over the last month pouring over maps, and this cemetery seems like it would be quite challenging to get to on public transportation. I have information and pictures from Wikipedia and Wiki travel and know where every place is located, etc., but if anyone has anything they want to share with mom on these cities beyond what I can get on the internet, we'd appreciate it. They initially lived in Cumnock, Ayrshire (1778-1841), then they moved to Saddell and Skipness (1851), and died in Carradale (1855), Argyllshire, in Argyll and Bute. Cemetery is Waterfoot Burial Ground, it is on a roadside and not in great shape. I did find a photo of the cemetery and tombstone. Just her luck, it seems to be in quite a remote location. Interestingly, we will be going to Oban which is in the same region.
I'm just thinking if someone on the forum lives or has traveled to this area and wanted share anything, we'd appreciate it. I told her I could take her to Carradale, but that would take up probably half her trip.
