Emily Murray Paterson

Her father, Duncan Wilkie Paterson SSC (1827-1911)[3] was a solicitor from Ayrshire.

Shortly after the end of World War One, she visited the former battlefields at Ypres in Belgium.

Her watercolours of ruined churches and other destroyed buildings from there, including views of the Ypres Cloth Hall, were shown in London in 1919.

Paterson also visited the Netherlands and Italy on a number of occasions and was a keen Alpine walker, often making painting trips to both the Tyrol and Swiss Alps and exhibiting the resulting works at the Alpine Club in London.

The grave faces the small western entrance and is designed by Stewart McGlashan & Co.
