  • 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.
