Thanks for your comments. I'd just like to track down the headstones now, if they still exist. The one I'm looking for is solid marble, so I suspect it got recycled.
I read fairly recently,in the "ECHO", that when they were checking out the route for the proposed tram service, there was some reason to excavate various parts of this,and when this was done in the vicinity of Grant garden's, they found human remains,so it doesn't sound like the bodies/coffins were moved! As this was only a year,or so,ago,I would imagine the city council would have some more up to date info', on anything concerning the area, because of this? It's possible the stones were moved somewhere else,but would anyone know where!
