This site began in 1998 when I was wondering what to do with the photographs I'd taken in some of the local graveyards  -  today there's over forty burial grounds from Edinburgh and beyond.  Many of the pages have been fleshed out with a bit of local history - when I've found the time to do some research - others contain little more than photographs, maybe some day!!

If you have any queries I'll do my best to answer them, but be warned, if you expect me to remember strolling by an ancestor's headstone . . . . well, over the years I've strolled by thousands of headstones and the chances of me remembering more than a few is extremely slim. As I said, my interest is photography, I'm not a genealogist and other than the photographs here and many more on my computer, that's all I have, no burial records I'm afraid.

The purpose of the site is merely to share some of my photographs - and whether you're looking to see were an ancestor lies buried or, like me, you just like wandering around old graveyards - I hope you enjoy your visit.
