Re:tomb at Dunn by Anonymous on Tuesday, 21 March 2017
We are visiting from Canada in May. We are interested in the burial plots of my great great great grandfather Begg buried at the Tomb. I've been there 30 years ago, but doubt I could find it again. Can anyone give us tips for finding someone who might give us a guided tour of Dunn and Watten. Please write me at [email protected]. Thank you for your kind assistance. Bruce Hunter
