A Walk in Dalry

Today's Covid Exercise Walk took me to Haymarket, Dalry, the Union Canal and Dundee Street.
The Main Photo is taken in Dalry Cemetery which was designed by David Cousin in 1846. The cemetery was developed and owned by the Metropolitan Cemetery Association. It represented part of the second wave of cemetery building in the city, specifically serving the south-west sections but by the mid-1970s the cemetery was neglected and in great disrepair. A clean-up and improvement campaign was organised by the 'Action for Dalry Cemetery Group' resulting in a series of improvements completed by September 1976.  In 1987 Edinburgh Council compulsorily purchased the cemetery and after further restoration it was reopened for access in May 1991.
