Late February and sunny Edinburgh has escaped the snow. This is the
view out of the Dundee Street gate. The tenements at Dundee Terrace are
in the background behind the exit from the West Approach Road. |
 |
|
Coffin Lane is behind the wall to the left and connects Dundee Street
to Dalry Road. |
 |
|
Particularly sad to see this infant's gravestone neglected and weathered.
I think it says that the young Ritchie person died aged two months. |
 |
|
A closer shot showing the stone book on the block with the white shield
on the front. |
 |
|
The stonemason made an excellent job of sculpting a book. The text
reads "Suffer little children to come unto
me". |
 |
|
The first of four pictures of the the stairway leading to the lower
level. |
 |
|
Dalry Road is just visible through the bare trees. |
 |
|
Part way down the steps. |
 |
|
Looking north east. |
 |
|
Not so many mausoleums as many other Edinburgh cemeteries. |
 |
|
Loose blocks of stone can be seen through the bars of the gate. |
 |
|
Looking back along the wall towards the steps. |
 |
|
Looking over the wall at Dalry Road and down Murieston Crescent. |
 |
|
Just to the left of Murieston Crescent is St Martin's Church. |
 |
|
Tall, tilting tombstones - the tilting probably caused
by tree roots. |
 |
|
Strange shadows. Beyond the boundary wall the top decks of two double
decker buses are visible. |
 |
|
The furthest west point of the cemetery at the corner of Henderson
Terrace and Dalry Road is higher than the adjacent footpath and gives
views along Gorgie Road. |
 |
|
Looking over the wall towards the railway bridge near the top of McLeod
Street. The entrance to Springwell House is on the left. |
 |
|
Public Toilets at the foot of Ardmillan Terrace stand in front of Springwell
House. These are essential for football fans from the nearby Heart of
Midlothian stadium. |
 |
|
Looking up the driveway which runs parallel to Henderson Terrace. |
 |
|
An admonishment to believers who have yet to repent for their sins. |
 |
|
Another view of the tombstone. |
 |
|
The pub behind the wall is officially called The Athletic Arms but
is known as The Diggers because of the nearby graveyard. No recent digging
though. |
 |
|
Looking down the driveway which runs parallel to Henderson Terrace. |
 |
|
Another look at the Dundee Street gate. Across the road there's a footbridge
which once crossed a railway line. It now crosses a westbound slip road
from the West Approach Road. The corner of Tay Street and Dundee Terrace
is visible at the back. |
 |
|
Finally a black and white shot of the warning carved in stone. |
