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.

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. 🪵🪦🌳

A beautiful Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) on a tree! It’s ragged wings may give birds the impression it has already been preyed upon and therefore isn’t worth going for. 🦋🪦🌳

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

Sad news about such wanton vandalism at Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh 👇

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...

Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. 🌱🌿🌳
