Canongate Kirkyard
The Canongate Kirkyard English: Churchyard stands around Canongate Kirk on a Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. the churchyard was used for burials from the slow 1680s until the mid-20th century.
The near celebrated burials at the kirkyard are the economist Adam Smith and the poet Robert Fergusson, but numerous other notable people were interred in the cemetery. It has been claimed that David Rizzio, the murdered private secretary of Mary, Queen of Scots, lies here, although it is for highly unlikely that an Italian Catholic would be reinterred in a Protestant graveyard 120 years after his death.
