At the back of Canongate Kirk there is a large atmospheric churchard with great views onto the back of Calton Hill. Famous citizens buried here include the economist Adam Smith, Robert Burns' Clarinda and Mary Queen of Scots' murdered secretary David Rizzio.

What a lovely shot. Cemeteries definitely come out better in B&W.
Fascinating history to go with such a stark image. Could only be mono. This screamed out of the portal to be looked at
I remember the story of Rizzio's murder. Amazing to touch the past so directly here.
