Mill Street/Garve Road Burial Ground, Ullapool.

This is the oldest established burial ground in Ullapool, dating from the village creation in the late 18thC. It occupies a fine location on the seafront, overlooking Loch Broom, where the northbound main road turns sharply inland.

My Great Great Grandfather, Kenneth Cameron was burried here in 1855. I think his Father, Donald Cameron may also be here. I think Donald died between 1850-1855.
Do you have any record of names on these stones ?

The records of inscriptions are in the Ullapool Museum. Several people surveyed the stones at different times (2002, 1994, 1988, 1986) and I would recommend asking the staff at the museum if they could look through the various records for you. I visited Ullapool recently and photographed a few stones but these did not include any Camerons.

The Mill St cemetery is now listed online on Find a Grave, and there is a Kenneth Cameron buried there, died March 30 1878. No one of that name earlier. It may be that there is a grave for your ancestor, but his stone is so weathered that it could not be recorded.
