Description
Edinburgh has a unique history, darker and more unexpected than many people imagine. Fortunately, it also has a set of graveyards to match. Ancient, modern, beautiful, haunted - they are the perfect reflection of the city's amazing past, with astonishing stories of their own. Greyfriars Kirkyard alone was instrumental in the creation of Darwin's evolutionary theory, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Christmas celebrations and the musical Cats. Black Markers explores each cemetery, creating a patchwork of tales that builds up a fascinating picture of Edinburgh through the centuries.
