Edinburgh has lots of beautiful cemeteries across the city which are poignant places of remembrance and reflection. They are also havens for wildlife and offer wonderful greenspace. We hope to share some of that with you.
🚨Event alert🚨

Today marks the first day of #BabyLossAwarenessWeek. This year is the 20th Anniversary of BLAW and over 100 charities will be sharing posts and ways of remembering. The week serves as a time to talk openly about baby loss and share experiences.
Many thanks to today’s volunteers! Paul and I had another go at the unwanted wood chip around Charles McIntosh, and Janet picked litter! Charles was a notable early landscape gardener and known to Queen Victoria. 🪵🪦🌳
'Irreplaceable' historic headstone vandalised at Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh | STV News# Please get in touch if you have any information that could help https://t.co/VyG6nIuKeQ
Incredibly upsetting news out of Greyfriars. Many of the monuments are already fragile and treating them like treasure to be looted is shocking and vile behaviour. Police Scotland are appealing for anyone with information to contact them. https://t.co/okFL3F5TKi

Unfortunately this behaviour happens frequently at graveyards across the country. Future generations will not thank us for how we cared for these incredible heritage sites...
