However, South Lanarkshire Council has them as separate sections of one cemetery. It's clear that the sections have been added to the original churchyard, which is rumoured to have been the location of the marriage of William Wallace. So, for the purposes of this forum, the four sections will be grouped together. Mainly because sorting them all would be a complete nightmare. Details from SLC: Quote: Lanark Cemetery has four distinct sections which have been developed over many years. The oldest section, St. Kentigerns, which houses the ruins of the old church, is rumoured to be the marrying place of William Wallace, while St. Nicholas has a focal point of the covenanters memorial. St. Leonards and St. Catherines are the newest sections and can be found on either side of the Murray Chapel which was built in memory of the Murray family. There are no new lairs available within the cemetery. St. Kentigern - No. of CWGC burials: 5 St. Leonards's - no. of CWGC burials: 18 St. Nicholas - no. of CWGC burials: 5 St. Catherine's - no. of CWGC burials: 9 So 37 in total.
