Don’t be fooled into thinking we were all wearing shorts and simmits – there’s been a very chilly easterly breeze for the past few days!

The following two photographs show a cross before and after cleaning.

The above cross was found face down. It wasn’t this shade of white! The photograph was taken after some washing and brushing.

Some photos taken around the site on a work party day. Click a photo to view a larger version. This opens in a new window.

Come and join us or just pop along for a chat. Work party days are Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10am, meeting at the main entrance (at the far end of Warriston Gardens from Inverleith Row) by our green shed or at the other end of the brick drive, through the cemetery gates. If you arrive later come look for us – we’re easy to find. If you can’t come along for whatever reason you can support the group via annual membership (life membership is also available). For more details, please send a message to the following email address; friendsofwarristoncemetery@gmail.com. Thanks.

A couple of volunteers have been tending to the area around Sir James Young Simpson. And here are some of the tete-a-tete daffodils they planted, looking lovely in a little sunshine this morning…

More tete-a-tete daffodils, which we’d planted beside the hedge between the north path and the extension…

Photograph 1 features a fern which is being allowed to grow stronger and show itself off now that there is much more light and space for it in the Secret Garden. Photograph 2 is looking in the opposite direction and features a sample of the wonderful Edinburgh weather just a few minutes later – sunshine and rain at once.
