st.Mary`s crosskirk>>burial records

[johndsmith]

Has anyone got or know where i can find burial records for the above?. My Gt.Grandad was buried there on 6th Sept 1913 and i am looking for lair No. Also my Gt.Grannie Jesse (dunnet) Smith who died 24th November 1906, I have been unable so far to find burial place. Jesse was born in Wick so I think that in those days the deceased was removed back to the parish that they were born in. Can any of the Orgers help?. (Gt Grandads Name was David Edward Medley Smith).

Have you tried asking Historic Scotland who seem to have the church on their site as one of their properties? It gives the location as 6 miles west of Thurso and there are some nice pictures of the now ruinous chapel.
Good luck.
