Dean Cemetery, Victorian cemetery in western Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Dean Cemetery spans across landscaped grounds between Queensferry Road and the Water of Leith, featuring formal pathways lined with sculptures and monuments.
The cemetery opened in 1846 on the former site of Dean Mansion House, with architect David Cousin designing the original layout of the grounds.
The South Terrace contains graves of Scottish medical professionals, architects, and artists, including photography pioneer David Octavius Hill.
Visitors can access the main cemetery through a gateway on the east side from Dean Gallery grounds, while the modern extension connects via Dean Path.
The cemetery holds over 6,125 memorials, including Commonwealth war graves from both World Wars and a dedicated row of Scottish judges along its northern wall.
