You could try your surname here
http://www.familysearch.org/ go to Canadian census 1881. And www.google.com
and try typing in different things like Scottish burial ground Quebec and if
that doesn't give you what you're looking for try Scottish cemetary Quebec
1840 etc....Quebec is a pretty big province so unless it specifically says
Quebec City, they could've been anywhere in Quebec, although most immigrants
would've went to Quebec City or Montreal since these were where the jobs
were.
http://www.interment.net/can/ this page has most cemeteries across Canada.
