Gravestones at Airth Cemetery in Airth, near Falkirk, were left in pools of mud after the filthy water ran down from a Lochay Homes development.
Residents of a small Scots village have been left furious after the local cemetery was flooded by a nearby housing development. Gravestones at Airth Cemetery in Airth, near Falkirk, were left in pools of mud after the filthy water ran down from the adjacent Lochay Homes building site on Wednesday, January 11.
The photos of headstones were posted in a community Facebook page, with locals flocking to the comments to share their outrage over the "shocking" and "disgraceful" damage. The SNP councillor for Kinnaird and Tryst said: "Understandably, the matter of flooding close to graves at the top of the cemetery, adjacent to the site, was of particular concern and distress to the local community this week. When made aware of this, I spoke immediately to planning officers and communicated directly with company directors at Lochay Homes in seeking swift action and assurances on this situation.
