Leadhills Cemetery is full of history. Not only can you see commonwealth war graves here, but you can also visit the final resting place of John Taylor, a miner who died here in 1770. What is remarkable was that he was born in 1633 making him 117 years old when he retired as a miner in 1751, and 137 when he died. His grave is well signposted so you cannot miss it.
