EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tombs in Greyfriars Churchyard" takes us on a journey through the rich historical tapestry of Edinburgh, Scotland. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the solemn beauty and architectural marvels of this renowned churchyard. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the grand entrance that welcomes visitors into Greyfriars Churchyard. This sacred ground holds within its walls centuries of Scottish history and serves as the final resting place for many notable figures. Amongst these tombs lies the Martyrs Monument, honoring those who sacrificed their lives for religious freedom during turbulent times. Nearby stands the monument of Sir G McKenzie, known as "Bloody McKenzie" whose controversial role in Scottish history still sparks debate today. The presence of William Carstares reminds us of his significant contributions to education as Principal at the University of Edinburgh. His legacy intertwines with other prominent individuals such as John Laying and William Robertson, whose names echo throughout time. As we explore further into this enchanting scene, we discover Covenanters Prison and Chiesly of Dalry's tomb - symbols representing struggles against oppression and persecution endured by those who fought for their beliefs. Through this meticulously cleaned digital image from Cassells Old and New Edinburgh (c 1885), we are transported back in time to witness not only stunning architecture but also stories etched onto stone. It is a testament to human resilience
