Newington Cemetery

Description

A publicly accessible green lung in an urban setting, this 14 acre cemetery dating from 1846 is a peaceful haven and wildlife sanctuary supporting biodiversity, in the care of City of Edinburgh Council. Architect David Cousin followed 19th century “garden cemetery movement” principles in its layout, also designing the Victorian Gothic entrance lodge and the Romanesque catacombs. Friends of Newington Cemetery will be on hand to point out features of interest, including links to graves of folk with global connections.

There are a number of graves of notable and less well-known local people whose work and life had a global reach.
