Old Calton burial ground - history and description

Post by jennyblain » Fri Nov 13, 2009 5:32 pm

While looking for something else (isn't that ever the way?) I came across this link:
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/internet/At ... on_Old.pdf

It's from the Edinburgh 2007 'survey of gardens and designed landscapes', and gives a description of the burial ground, including a summarised history, with descriptions of the key monuments and many photographs and some maps and plans.

Hi again Jenny

Thanks for posting this link so that other TS users can find it and, hopefully, find it useful if they have family from Edinburgh.

Cheers!

Thanks from me too Jenny \:D/ \:D/

I had found it previously then lost it when my PC died (maybe in sympathy with the Calton ground :D ).
One of our members will be delighted to see it and may well glean some information from it.
