Borenich burial ground is in a field on the north side of Loch Tummel, not far from the Queen's View. Most people give it scarcely a glance as they drive along the road towards Tummelbridge, but the curious sometimes stop and walk down the hill to have a closer look. Probably they are surprised to find that the burial ground has a visitor's book and information leaflets.
However it is obvious, from entries in the visitor's book, that some people are visiting the burial ground in the hope of tracing their ancestors. The information leaflet can do no more than scratch the surface in this context, so this web-site has been established to assist those interested in the families who once lived in this part of Strathtummel to discover their roots. This web-site contains historical information about the burial ground, and relates what is known about the people buried there, including marriages, births and census returns.
We have been researching the descendants of Patrick Stewart, wadsetter of Ardkincael, who probably was born around 1625 when King Charles I came to the throne. The file also mentions Patrick Stewart of Easter Invervack, a captain in the Atholl Brigade during the 1745 Jacobite Uprising, and Patrick Stewart the Blair Atholl Kirk Officer.
We would be interested to hear from anyone who has traced their ancestry back to these people.
