    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • Scottish Parliament Building Edinburgh, Scotland
    Scottish Parliament Building Client: Location: Edinburgh, Scotland Date: Typology: In 1998 EMBT won the bid to design the new Edinburgh Parliament building. The Architect: proposal generated great enthusiasm due to its organic capacity to combine existing Project directors: elements with new technologies through the contemporary and unique language of the Design team: Barcelona studio. The project’s development centered on reflecting the characteristics Gross floor area: of the country and its inhabitants via a new way of building that was directly linked to the land itself. This close tie to the site and its setting would, when the adjacent distillery is demolished, enable the generation of multiple perspective lines on the city. Intentionally, a contrast is sought, a conceptual distance, between the new construction and Holyrood Palace, the twelfth-century royal residence that has been renovated many times. Unlike the palace, which dominates the landscape, the new Scottish Parliament drops literally into the hillside terrain, the lowest part of Arthur’s Seat, and appears to sprout from the living stone.

  • SCOTLAND September 6-15, 2019
    DISCOVER SCOTLAND September 6-15, 2019 WITH NHPBS AND WILLEM LANGE Travel in the footsteps of the Jacobite revolution and ancient Scots on the journey of a lifetime that will highlight the rugged natural beauty, intriguing history, and delightful modern charm of Scotland. New Hampshire PBS and American Expeditions invite you to discover the enchanting land of Scotland with New England’s favorite storyteller, Willem Lange. Surrounded by lore and shrouded in mystery, the mere mention of Scotland conjures images of imposing castles, untamed landscapes, soft strains of bagpipes, and a plethora of historical legends. Take a step back in time as we take in sweeping and verdant natural wonders, remote sea-sprayed ruins, and stroll the iconic cobblestones of the Royal Mile on this unique and insightful Scottish experience that you will cherish for years to come. We begin in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city which is situated in the Lowlands along the River Clyde. While just a small town upon Scotland’s union with England in 1707, it eventually blossomed into a thriving Victorian paradise as shipbuilding and steel production began to prosper in the 19TH century. Having honorably been named a European Capital of Culture in 1990, Glasgow rivals Edinburgh in the arts, with a thriving music scene and notable galleries and museums that honor its proud industrial heritage. Next, we’ll make our way up to the coastal town of Oban with a delightful stop in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, whose natural beauty has inspired artists and writers for centuries, including Sir Walter Scott.
