Hi Keith
there are no Sillars in Tarbolton but there are 7 stones in Craigie. If you
want to be more specific then I'll search for and copy one but (and I know I go
on about this <g>) the booklet only costs a few pounds ISBN 09522292 9 3 and
if no-one buys it because of listers doing blanket lookups then there is no
incentive for the FHS societies to produce further transcriptions of MIs
............ and in the long run we all lose out. And believe me a few pounds is
nothing when compared with trailing round a graveyard on a wet afternoon
searching for a stone which may or may not be there!
