Residents of a small Scots village have been left furious after the local cemetery was flooded by a nearby housing development. Gravestones at Airth Cemetery in Airth, near Falkirk, were left in pools of mud after the filthy water ran down from the adjacent Lochay Homes building site on Wednesday, January 11.
Anne Orr, whose parents are buried at the cemetery, said she "felt sick" after finding out about the flooding.
Speaking to the Record, she said: "My parents are buried just down from those gravestones. I felt sad and sick that this had happened. It's not acceptable, fair enough accidents happen but it felt so disrespectful to the dead."
