The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it provides funding for the repair and maintenance of the graves of famous Scots, such as John Loudon Macadam who is buried in Moffat Cemetery, and the graveyards in which they are buried.
The answer
There is no Scottish Government funding stream available that provides directly for such repair and maintenance, with the exception of the grant given annually by Historic Scotland to the War Memorials Trust to assist in the care of memorials to Scotland''s war dead, famous or not.
However, there are several avenues open to those who wish to see particular graves better cared for, and I have asked Historic Scotland to write directly to Ms Murray setting these options out in more detail.
