What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Park Cemetery occupies Old Dalkeith Road as a twentieth-century burial ground, marking the boundary where ordinary city life hands over to memory. The precise location stands within the City of Edinburgh, yet the name alone does not promise entry or reveal what sleeps beneath the grass. It is the kind of place where forgotten hands once carried soil, where love and loss were measured in shovelfuls, and where the dead still occupy the margin of the living world.
