The Angus & Dundee Roots Festival takes place from 6th to 13th September and gives a great opportunity for people whose ancestors came from Dundee and Angus to visit the area to find out more about their ancestral homeland giving them a flavour of what life was like for ancestors in days gone by.You can read more about the week by clicking on the headline above.
I'm delighted that Ann Prescott, leading member of the Western Cemetery Association and Minutes Secretary of West End Community Council, is - as part of the week - giving a talk about the Western Cemetery. It takes place on Thursday 4th September at 1.00pm in the Glasite Hall (by St Andrew's Parish Church at the bottom of King Street).
Ann tells me, "The talk is on the development of the Western as a private cemetery company from the point of view of the people and the place. Time permitting I'll try to put it into the context of today's Eco-graveyard movement."
