East Preston Street Cemetery. Opposite the Commonwealth Pool.
This cemetery is known as the West Kirk Burial Ground, Newington by CWGC. There is one 1 WW1 CWGC grave.
Looking at all the doctors, professors and ministers in the graveyard it must have had some sort of connection to the University.
There are a handful of graves with a military connection. It also contains the Nelson Publishers Great War Memorial which was moved to the cemetery when the printing works were demolished.
