When Greyfriars Graveyard opened in Edinburgh in the sixteenth
century, built on the site of a Franciscan monastery on the edge of
the Old Town below the castle, it became Edinburgh's most important
burial site. Over the centuries many of Edinburgh's leading figures
have been buried at Greyfriars, alongside many more ordinary folk,
and it is home to a spectacular collection of post-Reformation
monuments. In this book local historian Charlotte Golledge takes
the reader on a tour around Greyfriars Graveyard to reveal the
history of the cemetery, from when James I granted the land as a
monastery to the present day. She explores the huge variety of its
monuments and gravestones and explains the symbolism behind the
stones and carvings and how the styles changed over the years.
Through this she paints a remarkable picture of life and death in
Edinburgh over the centuries, which will appeal to both residents
and visitors to the Scottish capital.
