Relaxing Graveyard Walk | South Leith Parish Churchyard, Edinburgh

Join me on an afternoon walk around South Leith Parish Church. The historic South Leith Parish Church is over five hundred years old. Beginning life as a chapel dedicated to St Mary, the first building on site was erected in 1483. It has been used variously as a place of worship, as a refuge during time of war and as a magazine for armaments.

Several notable figures are buried in this little hidden gem of a graveyard, including John Pew, the man upon whom Robert Louis Stevenson is believed to have based the Treasure Island character “Blind Pew” upon, the historian Hugo Arnot and the playright John Hume.
