Introduction The cemetery at Invershin is situated to the north of the village of Invershin. It is situated

close to the A837, close to Invershin Hall. Inhumations have taken place here from its

earliest beginnings and continue to the present day. This survey concentrates on those

stones in the older part of the cemetery only.

Site History Unknown when the cemetery was first used. The site is not mentioned in the Old

Statistical Account (Sinclair, 1791-99) or in the New Statistical Account (NSA 1845). The

site is not recorded in the National Monuments Record of Scotland. Highland Council’s

Historic Environment Record only notes the survey work listed below and that it is

marked on the 1st edition OS. The site is not recorded in the NMRS.

Site is marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1879 (Sheet 107.4, surveyed

1874) as ‘Grave Yard’. The Ordnance Survey Name Book does not give it any

description, though in the book of survey for the parish its extent is noted as 0.103 acres

(James, 1875). The site is unchanged on the 2nd edition OS map of 1906 (Sheet 107.4,

revised 1903). By the next edition of 1968 (NH5697-5797, revised 1966) the cemetery

has been extended to how it is today.

Previous Work In the 1970's the method promoted by the Scottish Genealogy Society, and used by

Cowper & Ross (1981) is to summarise the inscription. (See Appendix 1 for their

work) They concentrated on stones with pre-1855 dates and only noted names and

dates.

Epitaphs are dropped, also occasionally placename details, giving little or no

indication of whether those interred are from the local community or if the placename

is just the place of death, also who erected the stone, if included in the inscription, is

also sometimes omitted. Spelling is often corrected diffusing the inscription. They did

occasionally indicate the type of stone recorded and also occasionally gave notes on

other records that would have genealogical information. Their work is noticeable of

4

indicating stones now lost, but must be taken with caution due to a frequency of

mistakes and the works overall shortcomings.

Date and condition of Monuments The memorials in the cemetery date from the early 19th century to the modern day. They

are in a variety of styles including headstones, rusticated, pedestal, and tablestones. The

vast majority are in good condition, only a few being damaged or broken.

This survey follows the guidelines of the CBA (Mytum, 2000) and the CSA (Willsher,

1985). Photographs taken as part of the survey and the recording sheets have been

archived with the NMRS, Edinburgh.
