It's sad that some of those older stone markers are so weather-worn and withered that there's no writing that can me seen anymore. Everyone deserves to be remembered. Is it possible that the David Rizzio plot would have had a better more elaborate stone wall or in ground marker over the grave? Also, a historical question for the readers I wonder if David's family back in, Italy (during their lifetime) ever found out what happened to, David?

Graveyards make quiet neighbors.

Watched a programme on the tv some years ago, where a couple bought a church in the middle of a graveyard and converted it into a home.

Didn't think I would find graves so interesting I been watching all your videos and found this channel a few days ago, and I guess I ❤ the history, thanks.

My sister and I actually grew up across from a cemetary, we used to ride our bikes and play there (respectfully) and it kind of sparked our mutual love of horror. I go to whatever graveyards and cemetarys I can. I made a 10 hour drive to visit one in Atlanta, GA, it was so worth it! My sister and I are going to visit some in Salem next year.

Thank you I always enjoy watching your videos when I get the time. 🙂

I had a Dr buried in my garden his name was Caleb Crowther, he founded the Alms house that I lived in! I think David was the son of King George, he was a very poorly lad prone to fits. He was hidden away out of sight but in them days children were. He wasn't murdered, there is a film made about him.

The cemetery was in very good repair, the grave stones are hundreds of years old so you would not expect them to look pristine.

Edinburgh's such a stunning place generally and there's always something to look at. It's years since I was last there though. I used to go for work with my old job as an auditor, as the Edinburgh office was one of the ones in our remit and it was on of those trips I first went on the Old Edinburgh and Greyfriars Kirkyard ghost walks one night. I've not been round this one, though. You ought to pop down to Sheffield if you can and come and do a tour of the General Cemetery, where there's some of Sheffield's great and good (and probably not-so-good) buried and some of the stones and monuments are beautiful! One of the chapels there (it has two) now hosts events every few months.

FFS I have missed every single premier I clicked to notify tonight because I was busy having a good long shower grrrr

A Sclater is a person who lays slate-a roofer.

Do you have a cold? Not being able to breathe makes walking hills a pain. Re an apartment overlooking a graveyard. I am torn between loving the idea and feeling it is disrespectful to have homes so close. Death is a part of life but does having people that close disturb their rest?
