Myself and zos were planning on getting some night/long exposure shots in the Ramshorn this evening before the pub but was called off on the count of rain.... but though I'd repost the ramshorn pictures from the Ingram st thread.
Will get back there sometime soon hopefully for some pictures and hopefully I'll get some good pictures of the 'unknown friends' markers.

James Black
Lord Provost of Glasgow

Ramshorn Cemetery
Memorial
1795
James Black
Merchant
Glasgow
1755-1825
Lord Provost of Glasgow
1808-9 and 1816-17

James Black’s name appears on all the lists of former Lord Provosts of Glasgow but there is little information of the man to be found on the internet.

On the other hand there is much to discover him through his daughter Hannah.
James Black married Hannah Shortridge in Glasgow about 1781. We know from his memorial at the Ramshorn Cemetery that he was born sometime in 1755. His daughter Hannah Shortridge Black married William Muir, who was a Minister on 22nd June 1813. Together they had nine children. William born 5th September 1814 in Glasgow, Hannah Shortridge born 17th Jan 1816, Glasgow and died 15th November 1822, James born 31st Mat 1817, Glasgow, Robert Hugh born 26th February 1819, Glasgow, was the Minister of Dalmany, William born 16th August 1820, Glasgow, John who died 18th June 1823, Hugh born 11th May 1824, Edinburgh and John Stenhouse who was the Minister of Cockpen.

Hi,
Wonder if anybody can help? Recently discovered an ancestor of my wife was buried in St. Davids Ramshorn churhyard. His name was William Chisholm, merchant/manufacturer. Died 1847. If anybody spots his memorial I would be glad of the info. and perhaps a photo.
Cheers, Eddie.

The man murdered in the infamous Madeleine Smith murder story is buried in the Ramshorn, Pierre Emile L'Angelier.

It's a long time since I've been in but I think he was hard right as you walk in although my mid might be playing tricks.
