A lady from Scotland responded to the article posted by the Australian on FB and all she said was "How silly". The UK knows a thing or two about preserving historical monuments, I think. I tend to agree. A cemetery itself will die with the last person buried in it unless there are living people tending it. That's really not a static undertaking. I'd tend to think any changes should come very gradually in the future with minor corrections to what is there presently. That could happen quite naturally as any gardener can tell you. The proposals sound too drastic and unnecessary to me. It appears to be a beautiful place with its own character and it sounds like they'd prefer it to look like thousands of other burial grounds. IMO.
