The Register of Burials in the Churchyard of Restalrig 1728 lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs. Harry Allan, writer; Charles Allan, surgeon; Mrs. Wood, heiress of and of the heirs of Warriston portioner Restalrig ; James Elphinston ; heritor heritor Thomas James Telfer, ; James Robertson, ; Wood, farmer William Lochend farmer ; John Fulton, ; Oliphant, farmer, ; farmer Alexander James Abercrombie, ; James Coustoun, farmer, Dickson, farmer, and Patrick Petrie, schoolmaster. To these Robert Maxwell, in Jock's Lodge, and James Robertson, in Restalrig, were subsequently added. The Society provided a set of mortcloths, and from time to time fixed a scale of charges for their use at funerals. The amount of these fees has been duly recorded since 1728, and from this source the index now printed, which includes all entries to 31st December 1854, when the compulsory registration of deaths came into force, has been made. The information contained in the Register has been supplemented from the monumental inscriptions, and also, in some cases, from the obituary in the Scots notices Magazine. , After the building of the barracks at Piershill in 1793 ^^^ churchyard became the place of interment of many soldiers of the cavalry regiments which have been stationed there. For a fuller accout of this interesting place the reader is referred to the Collegiate Churches of Midlothian^ published by the Bannatyne Club, and a paper in the Proceedings of the Scottish Ecclesiological Society for 1907-8, by the Rev. William Burnett, the present minister, to whose courtesy the Society are indebted for the index now issued. INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854.

Madelvic House and Vehicle Production This Victorian red stone building was the original office of The Madelvic Motor Carriage Company. The company was founded in 1898, by William Peck (1862 – 1925), later knighted, for the manufacturing of electric vehicles. Madelvic was one of the first Scottish motor brands built in the first British purpose-built car factory, reputedly with a test track (23 years ahead of Fiat). It was also the first to go into liquidation, in 1900. All assets were bought by Kingsburgh Motor Company, which manufactured cars powered by internal combustion engine, but by 1902 it, too, had financial troubles. Over a short period of time other companies moved in manufacturing lorries and buses using bought-in components (Stirling’s Motor Carriages Ltd of Hamilton) and taxi-cabs (Scottish Motor Works).

  • The Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2015 Meet the Masters: Highlights from the Scottish National Gallery The Reverend Robert Walker skating on Duddingston Loch Angus Trumble 15/16 July 2015 Lecture summary: The Reverend Robert Walker skating on Duddingston Loch, c. 1798-1800, has not only become synonymous with the art of Sir Henry Raeburn, but has also assumed the character of an icon of the Scottish enlightenment, and of Scottish painting itself. Ten years ago, in a long article in the Burlington Magazine, Stephen Lloyd cast serious doubt upon the attribution to Raeburn on various grounds, and proposed instead that this action portrait was instead painted by the Frenchman Henri-Pierre Danloux. The ensuing controversy, and rebuttal, has shed much new light on the picture, and indeed the artist, but raises far broader questions as to the relationship between “technical” art history and connoisseurship. What are the limitations of each, and both in sometimes fraught dialogue? If, as is generally accepted, while iconic, The Reverend Robert Walker is a very unusual product of Raeburn’s studio, just how unusual can a picture be, at least in what used to be called an artist’s oeuvre, to raise and justify doubts as to its authorship? What factors, including a relatively secure provenance and close, not to say intense “looking,” may legitimately be marshalled in defence of the longstanding attribution to Raeburn? What is the role of scholarly consensus or, indeed, dissent in these debates? Slide list: 1. Henry Raeburn, The Reverend Robert Walker skating on Duddingston Loch, c. 1798-1800, oil on canvas, National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh (I shall return again and again to this image) 2.

The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield.

The boundary was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the conservation area. A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

    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).
