Many people of historical interest are buried here including: James Bowman Lindsay, born 1799, died 1862, who was an early experimenter with electricity who, in 1835 demonstrated a constant electric light 40 years before Thomas Edison. Preston Watson, born 1880, died 1915, who was an aeronautical pioneer who some claim to have made the worlds first powered flight over the Carse of Gowrie, several months before the Wright brothers in America.
