New Calton Cemetery, Edinburgh, Historic burial ground on Regent Road, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The cemetery extends across the southeastern slopes of Calton Hill, offering views toward Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat.
Established in 1820 as a replacement for Old Calton Burial Ground, the cemetery required the relocation of graves due to Waterloo Place construction.
The cemetery contains the Stevenson family plot, commemorating multiple generations of Robert Louis Stevenson's relatives through elaborate memorial stones.
The City of Edinburgh Council maintains the cemetery grounds and provides guided tours focusing on genealogy research and architectural features.
A watch tower stands at the upper corner of the cemetery entrance, constructed specifically to prevent grave robbery during the nineteenth century.
