The Church Yard of Rerrick and Abbey of Dundrennan has had pre 1855 monumental inscriptions transcribed and indexed. The index and transcribed inscriptions are included in a series of volumes that cover all of Kirkcudbrightshire. Rerrick is in volume 5. Abbey of Dundrennan is in volume 3. Refer to the county page for additional details.

There are 7 volumes of pre-1855 monumental inscriptions that cover the 29 parishes in the county. These records are important because there are few parish burial records available. They can be purchased from either the Scottish Genealogy Society or the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society.

Take a look at photographs of churches and churchyards in Dumfries and Galloway many of which are from Kirkcudbrightshire.

There is also an initiative to put digital images of tombstones with inscriptions on CD. Buittle, Twynholm, Borgue, Parton, and Tongland are available.
