New life for historic cemetery?

Plans are afoot to revitalise a long abandoned Lochs burial ground.

North Lochs Historical Society has applied for Comhairle funds to create a new access path to Crossbost Old Cemetary, “Cearn Eastpar”.

Unused since the early 20^th Century, the site is now almost inaccessible due to the boggy ground surrounding it.

The proposed new access will start beside Crossbost Post Office and will cover a distance of about 260 metres.

Comunn Eachdraich secretary Jean Macleod is hopeful of funding success.

“I think this is a really worthwhile project that will keep alive a part of North Lochs Heritage”

She asks for anyone with knowledge about the site to get in touch with her or members of the committee so that a small booklet of its history may be produced.
