Newington Cemetery

Technically it lies beyond Newington itself, standing on an awkward elongated kite-shaped site between a railway line and Dalkeith Road, between Prestonfield and Peffermill.

[2] The original lodge house was smaller than the one seen today and was also designed by Cousin, however it was extended in 1883, by Kinnear & Peddie .

Of particular note are the enclosed area for Jewish burials (against the east boundary wall) and the high number of war graves (mainly in the southern half).

Those whose graves are not marked by headstones are listed by name on the Screen Wall Memorial in the main War Plot (Section A1).

Its northern sections, having been abandoned for over thirty years, are now an important wildlife habitat within the city.
