Take a walk with me around one of Edinburgh's true hidden gems - Warriston Cemetery.

The city's largest cemetery opened in the 1840s and is a fine example of a Victorian 'garden cemetery'. But its so much more than an old graveyard...

We'll meet some of its residents, both dead and alive, and learn about some of its notable moments in its 180 year history.

Description

Micro histories from Scotland's capital. Join me for a walk through time, in a particular neighbourhood or location in beautiful, historic Edinburgh.

I'm avoiding all the history you already know - the castle, Greyfriars Bobby, Burke and Hare... this is a podcast about the real city and how its past has influenced and shaped the present day Edinburgh.

If you're a resident, you'll love these little walking tours that take no more than 25 minutes.
