Autumn Trees And Gravestones Leystone Cemetery Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of gravestones and trees on ancestry visit to Leystone Cemetery near Woodside and Burrelton on ancestry visit to Eastern Perthshire. Named Leystone after a nearby farm, which is spelled Laystone on maps, it sits on a bend on the north side of a minor road that links the A94 road at Woodside with the A93 road at the Bridge of Isla. A narrower minor road runs eastwards from the bend, headed to the town of Coupar Angus. The square site slopes gently to the road and is fringed by mature trees on the eastern side. Almost all of the graves are in the eastern half, the western side being clear. The cemetery is clearly still active and a lay-by is next to the entrance by the roadside. It is signposted from the A94 at Woodside. The surname Leystone was first found in Norfolk, England, where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. Spelling variations of this family name include: Leyston, Layston, Leystone, Laystone, Laston and many more.
