Driving Directions

This cemetery is located on Gisla Road in the area once known as Gisla. From route 214 near Milan watch for the Donald Morrison village and take Gisla Road for about 4 km. The road is gravel and winds through a forest. You will find the cemetery on the right alongside the road.

Cemetery History

The cemetery is the final resting place of Scottish settlers, many of who were from the Isle of Lewis  and Isle of Harris. Buried here is Donald Morrison (photo of tombstone), known as the Megantic Outlaw who became a legendary figure in Eastern Canada. The cemetery is still used today.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
