Book Description
Excerpt from Register of Interments in the Greyfriars Burying-Ground: Edinburgh, 1658-1700 From a calculation of the twelve years before 1700 it appears that between 1100 and 1200 interments took place in the burying ground on an average yearly. Twice the interments reach not quite 1000, but in 1690 they rise to as high a figure as 1445. The highest rate of mortality appears in the months of December 1696 and January and February 1697, when the interments number 180, 208, and 213 respectively, or together 601 for the three months.
