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.

Poet Thomas the Rhymer, known for his prophecies, had foretold in the 13th Century a time when, with a full congregation, Kelso Abbey would collapse. One Sunday in 1770, during morning worship, pieces of stone masonry did begin to fall from the roof. The people quickly vacated the ruined building, and commissioned James Nisbet to build a new church for them. He designed the Old Parish Church nearby in the shape of an octagon.
