City kills off bid to bring new life to graveyards
A major project to regenerate Edinburgh's historic graveyards to make them more attractive to visitors and tourist tours has been shelved by the city council.Supporters of the scheme today criticised the move, warning that the cemeteries will become "dumping grounds for cans of lager or syringes".
The five cemeteries originally earmarked for improvement are in the heart of the world heritage site – Greyfriars Kirkyard, Canongate Kirkyard and Old Calton, New Calton and St Cuthbert's burial grounds.
