Old Lecropt churchyard feels like home to me [we all die].
In the churchyard [a churchyard that has been without a church since 1827] is a tombstone with an inscription that has worn unreadable with time. However, last century, this was recorded just before all text was lost:
Margaret was the daughter of William McCulloch, gardener for Keir. She was born in 1812 and died in 1817 [the Lecropt Kirk Session records confirm that ‘180(7]’ was a misreading of a weather worn tombstone]
Margaret was born in Cammybank, Keir, Lecropt. In the 18th and early 19th century Cammybank was home of the Head gardener gardener for Keir. Like Old Lecropt church, nothing of Cammybank remains. However, a new house has been built close by:
