Geocache Description:

Nice walk through cemetery.


Regular sized cache, located within the Scotch Cemetery close to the town of Manilla.

This burying ground was originally acquired in 1853. The Trustees of the Burying Ground (Neil D. McPhadden, Neil A. McLean, and Hector A. McDonald) purchased 1.5 acres of land from Neil McDonald for a sum of 20 Pounds. The original deed of land was made on January 8th, 1853, and was subsequently registered at the County of Ontario on the 1st day of July, 1869. Coulthard's Corner (Manilla), located east of the Scotch Cemetery was settled in the early 1800's by the English, Welsh, Irish, Dutch, and Scottish and, at the time, had a population of approximately 700 persons.
