Headstone of the family of William McCreath and Margaret Crichton

In many ways, Alloway Kirkyard is  more interesting than the kirk itself. The resting place of our McCreath ancestor, William McCreath, is close-by the grave of Robert Burns’ father, William Burnes (though the stone uses the spelling of the family name preferred by the Bard and his brother).
