Arbroath, Campbelltown, Kinnellar, Alloa and Partick are all mentioned on headstones throughout Balmoral Cemetery. Edinburgh native and suffragist Isabella Tod, Dr W.G. MacKenzie who worked in the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and John Mecredy McAlery - credited with introducing association football to Ireland after watching a game in Edinburgh in 1878 - are also buried in this special place.
On the morning before Burns Night, why not come along to this ‘Tartan Tour’ of Balmoral Cemetery, calling at up to 20 headstones that mention places, and people from, ‘across the sheugh’?
