Graveyards and Cemeteries of Edinburgh
In medieval Edinburgh, the dead were buried in the city's churchyards, with internment in the church reserved for the wealthy, but in the post-Reformation years both rich and poor were buried in the grounds of the churches. In this book, local historian Charlotte Golledge takes readers on a tour through the history of Edinburgh's burial grounds. By the 19th century the city center churchyards were overcrowded and new outer town cemeteries created, no longer controlled by the town but by independent cemetery companies.
The story includes the notable events, burials, and grave markers at each burial ground She covers the individual history of the graveyards of St Giles, St Cuthbert's, Holyrood, Greyfriars, Canongate, Old Calton, New Calton, Buccleuch, St John's, and Morningside, and the later Dean, Dalry, The Grange, Morningside, Rosebank, Newington, Warriston, and the Jewish cemeteries.
