Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership and Kirkcudbright History Society combined to produce this tour of some of the interesting graves in Kirkcudbright Kirkyard. In 2010, after vandalism in the Kirkyard, funding was given to repair the damaged headstones and devise a trail with information boards and a leaflet. The History Society then organised guided walks which take place through the summer.
