Cemetery Vandalism

Cemtery vandalsim June 2009Between 3.30pm one June Friday and 6.45am the following day, vandals rampaged through Muirkirk Cemetery on Glasgow Road, knocking over 16 gravestones, some of which had stood for a century.

One of the stones badly damaged was that of a young child. For some stones there will be no one left alive to repair them.

The passage of time does enough damage to these headstones which are marks of the heritage of our village. The community cannot allow vandals to destroy such a heritage.

The condition and protection of Muirkirk Cemtery was not aided by the withdrawal by East Ayrshire Council of the permanent Cemetery attendant.
