OS Map Ref: NX 866 843
Behind Dunscore Parish Church in Dunscore village, W of B729.
Number of CWGC burials 1
The photo of the cemetery is taken from the Churchyard (separate listing). The area in between the cemetery and the churchyard is a small low lying pasture. The large wall is a remembrance wall built for the millenium celebrations I think (no military names).
