Black Markers: Edinburgh's Dark History Told Through its Cemeteries

2015 | History & Politics

Edinburgh has a unique history, darker and more unexpected than you might imagine. Fortunately, it also has a set of graveyards to match. Ancient, modern, beautiful, haunted - they are the perfect reflection of the city's amazing past - with astonishing stories of their own. Greyfriars Graveyard alone was instrumental in the creation of Darwin's Evolutionary Theory, Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Christmas celebrations and Cats: The Musical. Black Markers explores each cemetery, creating a fascinating patchwork of tales that builds up a fascinating picture of Edinburgh through the centuries.
