Grave Encounters at Kells

Galloway Glens Landscape Partnership Can You Dig It?

Grave Encounters: A 2022 volunteer research project into the people memorialised at Kells, New Galloway.

The Grave Encounters project recruited volunteers to undertake research into the memorial inscriptions at Kells graveyard in New Galloway. These inscriptions are often all that publicly remains of the individuals named within, but they contain glimpses, not just into their lives, but also into past events, locations and connections which make up an area’s heritage. The initial guidance note of how to do the research, the results, and an activity sheet and fact sheets that were produced for the Open Day are available to download.
