Old Pentland Cemetery, Medieval burial ground in Lasswade, Scotland.
The cemetery contains numerous stone markers and monuments, including medieval cross-slabs, spread across its grounds near the former site of Pentland Parish Church.
The burial ground dates to the early 17th century and holds remains of Covenanter movement members who perished during the 1666 Battle of Rullion Green.
The cemetery preserves inscriptions and burial practices that reflect Scottish funeral traditions through carefully documented gravestone markings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Located at coordinates 55.8845 latitude and -3.18072 longitude, the cemetery maintains its original walls and features an 18th-century watch house for security.
Archaeological surveys in 2009 revealed buried walls east of the Gibsone Mausoleum, which architect Thomas Hamilton designed in 1839.
