Barrier to cars put up at Perthshire kirkyard to stop loch parties gets in the way of family hoping to visit the graves of loved ones

A close-knit Perthshire family are angry at being blocked from visiting family graves and paying their respects before Christmas.

They hit out after they were refused the code for a road barrier blocking access to the graves of their loved ones.

Siblings Margaret (53) Joseph (55) and William Townsley (63) have 12 family members buried in Clunie Churchyard.
