Community volunteers working on an old cemetery in St Ninians say they are “taken aback” after being accused of disrespect by local church members.
Stirling 4 Community (S4C) charitable community group has applied to Stirling Council planners for a partial change of use of a graveyard to a memorial garden behind St Ninians Old Parish Church in Kirk Wynd.
The plans also include repairs to gatepost and fencing and erection of a shed and storage container on the land, which was a cemetery for past residents of the old William Simpsons Asylum, established in 1836.
