Peebles Cemetery and Private Burial Ground

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning.

We will remember them.

The main Cemetery in Peebles is located on the Neidpath road (A72 to Biggar) on the outskirts (Western approach) to the town. It is directly opposite Hay Lodge Park. NT 244405

The Commonwealth Graves Commission has the number of identified casualties as 44, although they only have details of 40 listed. 

To copy information from the CWGC site is time-consuming.  Hopefully, this site will alleviate that.

Within Peebles Cemetery there are 5 members of the Polish Forces laid to rest.  I think it's fair to also include them.

In a quiet part of Peebles next to the Cross Kirk there is a 'Private' Burial ground.  This is also included.

If anyone wants to attach an item regarding a person, then please feel free to do so.  There is also a place for comment.

They are in roughly the area where you will find the grave marker.

This resting place has improved in the past two years, and it is obvious that it is being looked after.
