On a recent genealogical hunt I uncovered a listing of tombstones from the Kilmarnock area of Scotland.  Always on the lookout for interesting Boyd information I abstracted the following listings.  One interesting note was to see how young many of these people were when they died.

I give full credit to Alastair G. and Margaret H. Beattier for their work.  The complete publishing information is cited at the end of this listing.
Perhaps one of your ancestors’ tombstones is included. Happy hunting.
