Description
Roslin Cemetery, located in Roslin, consists of two walled and gated graveyards that date from the late 19th to early 20th century, with some headstones dating back to the late 18th century. The graveyards are situated on sloping ground that falls to the southwest and are separated by a north-south track leading to Rosslyn Castle.
The upper graveyard is smaller and features boundary walls made of snecked, bull-faced sandstone with a stepped, castellated coping to the north and a shaped rubble coping for the rest. It has square-plan banded bull-faced and ashlar gatepiers topped with a polished ashlar cornice and obelisk cap, along with decorative wrought-iron gates. This area predominantly contains headstones from the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The lower graveyard is larger and also has boundary walls of snecked bull-faced sandstone with shaped rubble coping. It features square-plan bull-faced gatepiers with polished ashlar cornices and obelisk caps. This graveyard contains a mix of headstones and wall-monuments, with several dating from the late 18th century, the earliest being from 1782. Additionally, there is a single-storey, two-bay caretaker's hut made of bull-faced sandstone located against the southwest boundary wall. The hut has chamfered ashlar bipartite windows in each bay, a grey slate roof, a red clay stack on the north gablehead, and cast-iron rainwater goods.
