About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

One of the most important ecclesiastical sites in the southern isles, Nunton chapel stands in the burial ground near Nunton Steadings cultural centre, just south of Balivanich. It is the only early Christian site on Benbecula still in use. Persistent legend suggests that there was an early Christian presence here associated with the Celtic monastery established by St Columba at Iona.

Ewen MacDonald (born Benbecula) and I (descendant of a MacDonald who emigrated to Canada in 1883) photographed the cemetery in July 2011.

Please let me know if you want any of the on-line memorials turned over to you. It is easy for me to do so. What that means is that you could leave each memorial as-is, or you could enter additional information in the bio section and/or link the headstones to parents & siblings. (I've done so where connections are obvious but many more family linkages could be made.) More importantly, if a researcher comes across the site, is interested in a particular burial, & the memorial is held by a family member, it is more likely that a query about the family can be answered.

I hope you find this site of benefit to your family history research. Jan Fisher
