Description
Dalry Cemetery in Edinburgh was landscaped by David Cousin in 1846.
The gateways have been significantly altered, particularly at Dalry Road, where there are decapitated orthogonal gatepiers with large sawtooth coped buttresses. These are flanked by square piers that feature moulded crenellations. There is also a rear entrance to Dundee Street with four square piers similar to those at the front, and plain wrought-iron gates.
The boundary wall and railings are made of squared, snecked, and stugged sandstone resting on an ashlar plinth, topped with semi-circular coping. In front of the lodge, there is a lower coped section filled with iron arrowhead railings and a wrought panel. A milestone is located on the northwest wall.
The terrace features a perron stair leading to a buttressed terrace with a balustrade and catacombs below. There is a pointed-arch entrance to the vaults, flanked by buttressed octagonal piers on either side of the stair. Each vault is illuminated by a demi-lune skylight located in the upper level of the terrace, though the entire structure is in poor condition.
