About this Event

We warmly welcome visitors to explore and discover the rich heritage of the historic Maryhill Road Graveyard. We are a volunteer led friends group created in early 2023 to upgrade a derelict, run down graveyard on Maryhill Road. What was once an overgrown mess, is now a quiet oasis hidden behind a large stone wall on busy Maryhill Road.
Read the full event details

Visitors will be welcomed by our volunteers and given a brief history of the site.

Further information on those buried within the graveyard will be available for those who may have relatives buried there.

This year is the 200th anniversary of the creation of a place of worship on the site and our group will be joining with the local church to celebrate this event.

The Moderator of the Church of Scotland will be visiting the church over the Doors Open weekend.

The Friends Group has taken over the upkeep and maintenance of the graveyard surrounding the former Maryhill Parish Church.
