Description

Newington Cemetery, which was originally known as Newington Necropolis, was opened in 1846 by the Metropolitan Cemetery Association, as a profit-making concern on land obtained from the Dick family of Prestonfield. It's an example of a large Victoria garden cemetery and covers about 14 acres (about 5 hectares). By 1994 it had become neglected and overgrown, and was compulsory purchased by Edinburgh City Council. It is now managed as a wooded green space for people and wildlife. Parts are still heavily overgrown and it is difficult to find and read some grave markers. It contains the graves of 142 servicemen from WW1 and 14 from WW2, with those markers managed by the CWGC. The only entrance is in the NE corner, from Dalkeith Road. Parking is possible in side streets off Dalkeith Road, or at Cameron Toll shopping centre nearby.
