These graves are off limits - I was almost KICKED OUT 

If someone wanted to visit a grave that is 3 stones in, and can't walk on the fookin grass, are they expected to throw flowers from the path? Your sarcasm was hilarious Dan! I especially liked all the Celtic Crosses we cruised passed in here. Thank you. Deb of Aus.

Never heard of anyone being told not to walk in the grass in the graveyard or cemetery. So many deceased people missed. You do a good job and always respectful.

It's a good thing to read the gravestones,to mention the deceased.You show them a great service, reminding us that they were once alive just as we are today.Bless you brother.

So I did a little homework on one of the graves that you seen where you said he looked like he "had an electric shock" LOL. His full name was George Paul Chalmers and he was an artist in the 1800s. Not only was he an artist, but he was by then firmly established as one of the most important Scottish artists of his period. According to the voters records in 1870, he lived at 19 Pitt street in Edinburgh. He led a pretty quiet and uneventful life and his art is, as far as I'm concerned, beautiful. His life was cut short in 1878 when he was violently mugged just off Charlotte Square in Edinburgh and died as a result of his injuries. So sad...

I’m afraid I would have told him politely that I’m not complying. It’s a public space and you’re entitled to read the gravestones. That is the whole of them and why they have inscriptions on them. Also you might be looking for a long departed relative of the family. I’d have asked him for his name too. What a jobs worth!!!

I was so angry with that rude Rodney I couldn’t enjoy the video😡 what a loud, rude, obnoxious person he is🤬

Much respect to you! You handled yourself very well with that guy being a jerk. Well done.

The pink pyramid is the grave of Andrew, Lord Rutherford, apparently. Here is what is says on the wiki: The monument is inscribed: Uxori desideratissimae contra votum superstes moerens posuit Andreas Rutherfurd, et sibi, MDCCCLII. ("Andrew Rutherfurd, surviving against his will, placed this tomb in mourning to his most beloved wife, and to himself, 1852"

It's bad Karma to not allow people to visit graves and say the deceased names. In my opinion, souls appreciate the visit. Is a ridiculous thing to request to not go on the grass. You are not playing rugby in there for fooks sake.

I believe the phrase "sod off" is what one would say to a complete stranger telling me not to walk on the grass while I am walking about. I don't suffer fools! Love your videos, as you are so respectful.

Thank you my friend. Lovely cemetery.

How do they cut the freaking grass without stepping on it, or riding a lawnmower over it? I would have asked them where the "Do Not Walk on the Grass" signs are, then told them to piss off.

They're worried about you walking on the grass but they're not worried about yelling, and waking up the dead!

I would be pissed off as well. How would descendants of the dead visit and show respect. So many exotic headstones and statues in this cemetery.

I love the conversational style of your videos.. don’t let these stupid people in Edinburgh put you off Scotland… 😢. I live in Glasgow… you have every right! I wonder what cemetery you’d recommend for a novice? 🙂

A beautifully well maintained cemetary. So very large with beautiful grave ornaments. Thanks for going there Martha

That cemetery is huge! Great video thank you

Screw them, I’d have gone on the grass even more.

Sam Bough was another painter. Health started to fail 55, had a stroke in the beginning of 1878 and passed in November of that year from prostate cancer at 56. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote an obituary for him, as that he was an admirer of Bough and had him paint Stevenson's house at Swanston and a lighthouse his father and brother engineered. The bronze medallion we saw on his grave was sculpted by another Scottish artist of note, sculptor WIlliam Brodie who's also buried in Dean.

If walking on the grass is not allowed then how in the hell are people able to visit graves of loved ones buried further in from the walk paths?

Dan, somebody like me who came from America to visit, my great-grandparents in that cemetery would probably tell that man to mind his own business. As some of my family probably could be buried in that cemetery. I would not like the idea that if I had to walk across a lawn where my great-grandparents were buried. Then somebody has to throw a comment my way. What's going to happen, He's going get told to p*** off one time. I realized what you're doing a show so you could not do that. Most likely he would be challenged by anyone who's visiting their family if he was actually working there, and if he was told by them that he was not, they tell him to walk away. Great show and I really enjoyed the beautiful cemetery. Hopefully maybe next time you'll have a better situation.

The pyramid was "placed by Andrew (Lord) Rutherfurd in mourning for his most beloved wife" whom he survived by two years "against his will, and for himself, in 1852"

That guy was just the equivalent of a male Karen. Doesn’t pay to be nice, next time give him the same treatment they give you. You don’t owe him or anyone that works there an explanation, you could be filming for a hundred reasons, and that’s okay.

I had always thought of Highpark Cemetery in London was the grooviest, but these faces and busts were so gothic and out of this world. Thanks for this video!

Great walk. I googled some of the people you mentioned and there are some profound people that are buried in that cemetary. Some of them were pioneers in medicine along with being artists and politicians in some copacipty. I really enjoyed this video, glad to see my country isn't too bad to ya. Don't mind that guy hes probably from that areas. That town isn't too friendly to people that aren't from there. My grandmother would tell me that she liked that city, but they didn't care for her being from Glasgow.

Thanks Dan. Great cemetery and some great names there 😃👍

Top job Dan. There is always a Karen somewhere. Absolutely stunning cemetery.

1:55 this may, in fact, be the best “Danism” of the channel!

Who was that man? Was he an authority of the law or the cemetery? If not, he has no right to yell about the grass!!!

What an amazing cemetery, it was a shame you couldn't get a closer look at the graves.

Well,that bloke put a damper on proceedings, you have a great show mate.👍✌️

Interesting you can't walk on the grass but in other places there are squatters living in and well using old mausoleums as toilets

What a stressful visit. These people you met dont really want the dead to rest in peace.

What a stupid rule ,what about ancestry hunters who have found out a relative is buried there but isnt allowed to walk up to the grave .

What a slap in the face to the deceased! People are not allowed to pay their respects to those interred there because people would have to walk on the grass! People have gone bonkers!

The Victorians had picnics and promenaded around cemeteries back in the day - not a problem back then !

I would have told him i was visiting a relative….party pooper.

It's stepping onto the actual grave that's disrespectful.. so if the grave is 3 rows in.. walk between the Headstones, and stay off the grass in front of the Headstones. Easy to remember.

Ya should have told him to do one Dan. You’re perfectly entitled to do what you’re doing.

What are they going to do to you if you're on the grass again? All of those graves have no one visiting them and you're giving them the light of day.

So if you have flowers how are you expected to put the flowers on a grave without stepping on grass ?

Some of those reliefs and busts are stunning to be honest.

The reason you got pulled up for walking on the grass is because old coffins have been known to collapse from under your feet.

You handled that well, telling them off, asking for credentials ect. could have set them off. You never know how crazy someone will react. I once had an old man almost run over tomb stones speeding his truck around a cemetery at approx 40 mph. All to cut me off before I got to my car so he could scream at me for where I parked. I was the only one there and he wasn't blocked off from anything, just had to make a slight detour around me would have took seconds. Instead he almost hit us w his truck and acted like he wanted to fight. So best to leave those types be if you can, they may have a gun.

You should’ve told that guy to go something physically impossible. Who’s he think he is? There’s too many people in this world thinking they’re more important than they actually are.

Sorry I missed the LIVE. Had an appointment I couldn't miss but wish I did 😂 I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! ❤

Woowwww! I am loving this cemetery! Just my type. Usually when I walk through an old one, it can be difficult to not walk on top of a grave if they are close. I always apologise to them so they know I don’t mean to be disrespectful.

How can anyone visit a grave without walking on the grass? 🤔 It doesn’t seem like a very welcoming cemetery unfortunately. I think the people buried there would be glad to be visited. It is a very cool old cemetery. Thanks for showing us around it.

3:24 that boy still be mad about the 2014 Scottish independence referendum not passing

That one guy really had it out for you! What a complaining jerk. I don't think walking on the grass was really an issue or problem but just an excuse for him be be an asshole. I would have just left or complained to his supervisor about his behavior. How can families visit graves without walking on the grass?

The bust at 1:59 looks like my oldest son! 😂 As for you walking on the grass, really, someone had a bug up their bum! I'd make a complaint to the Cemetery! We all should call and complain! Thank you Robert Darling for the permission to walk on the grass 😂😂😂

Great tour of this cemetery Dan. You make me laugh so hard. Your comments could be incorporated into a standup routine! Strange maintenance workers, maybe they were having a bad day but you made the best of it. Thanks for taking me along! ♥️ XO

David Scott’s face in green was so eerie. I wonder if it glows at night.

Who told you , you can’t visit graves and walk on the grass to read headstones, the biggest load of shite I have heard . I visit a lot and never been told that . If someone said I couldn’t visit family headstones , they will be told to do one 😡🤬🐨🥰

I wish I could have seen the name on the Chalmers marker…my Mothers maiden name was Chalmers and our descendants come from the UK and Scotland…I was this close…grrrrr

The pyramid grave said the name, "Rutherford Andrews" and wife, Sibl Mossel.

I live in kentucky. Not many battles here since it was a neutral state. My town was raided by that one general who was just burning down towns on his way to the south. Most likely that fellow died in the battle of perryville. A battle where the opposing generals sat and had coffee and breakfast together as the two armies were engaged in battle right in front of them...

Your such a kind soul. Thank you for the respectful tour! I live in the states. I love the busts of the deseased. I haven't seen that in our cemeteries. At least, where i live.

Catching replay hello to all and a big thanx to Dan and Cathy

Oh for Feck's sake why do some people make a big fuss about things that just aren't that damn important?!

He was born in Anstruther, Fife, Scotland, the son of Dr. John Goodsir (1742-1848), a medical practitioner and his wife Elizabeth Dunbar Taylor.[3] His oldest brother John Goodsir (1814-1867) became professor of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh and was a pioneer of cell theory, the doctrine that cells form the basis of living organisms. He collaborated on this with another brother, Harry Goodsir (1819 - c. 1848), a doctor and museum curator who served as assistant surgeon and naturalist on the Franklin expedition, and was lost in the Arctic

So nice to see such a well kept cemetery.

Make sure you’re getting your rest!❤

That was funny the way those grounds keepers were bickering about. 😸😹

People inscribe their tombstone so they can be read and remembered. That's some bull not being allowed close enough to read them! Great video, nonetheless.

- I didn't see any uniform or ID, look like a druggy to me.

What are they worried about? The grave opening up and encompassing you. Not fair, the man on the lawnmower is on the grass.😅

Probably the only one visiting but a real thorn in that workers side at least he is taking good care of his lawn

I'm new love cemeterys for yrs thanx for sharing

I'll be at Edinburgh next year and was looking to visit this place. Now gotta make sure to remember the grass thing :D

In Europe the cemeteries are so old and the graves are so close together, that you're literally walking on someone's grave if you're on the grass between rows.

Is it written policy in law that disallows anyone from walking in between the headstones or is it some jumped up individuals who are taking thier job too seriously? If it is I would definitley get thrown out because I could not keep from photographing and studying the stones regardless of some dumb over protective rule. The graves are meant to be visited and the residents paid respect despite where the grave is.

Nice walk through with you... 😊 thanks for sharing.. side tracked me for a bit!😅

Next time, tell them, I do less damage to the grass than the mowers and landscape crew! Or. " I'm here to see my Aunt and her grave is in the grassy area, and I can't pay my respect from the footpath. Now bug off.

What if someone wanted to visit the grave of an ancestor? They would have to walk on the grass.

What a great place to wander around. Incredible headstones but it seems as if few women rated a sculpted head carving of themselves. Lots and lots of guys sure did.

Hi Dan I came across your video and I enjoyed watching it and chat going on new subscriber looking forward to seeing your videos

What a beautiful cemetery and a lovely video thanks very much 👍

Wouldn't want to buried in a place rude to guests. Who would visit you if the grave isn't next to the gravel?

What do relatives do when they want to visit a grave? Hover?!

Col. Smith is buried in Ky. He has a large monument there (even though he was a confederate 😂). The grounds keepers all sound rather angry. Makes me want to avoid that place when I visit.

I’m so sorry Dan. ….I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life! He had an Italian accent didn’t he? Know they are quite uptight about people getting near to graves in Italy, but this is extreme, unless they have had problems with vandals? I lived in Corstorphine,Edinburgh for ten years and visited here then ( 20yrs ago tho) and there was no problem then…even as a mum pushing a push chair!!… so I think I’d enquire as to HOW you are supposed to record famous graves, ie the Franklin expedition one? ….actually hearing it again I think he had a strong Scot’s accent… Anyway, you showed us around and did a good video despite him. Cheer up! Get a permit from the office then you can shove it up his nose showing him!….best wishes. 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When they start complaining I'll stop walking on them!

I used to live near that cemetery. There is no rule that states you cannot walk on the grass. You would be missing a lot of interesting stuff.

Five minutes in and I have not seen a single flower yet. Maybe it’s because you can’t step on the grass.

I'm digging all those mausoleums lined up next to each other. Wow!

This one of the most interesting RU-vid video-studies I’ve seen in a long time. If I live near here I would go with a still camera and compile an anthology of them including any person detail that could be found. Maybe you could get written permission to take such a videography or photographic compilation.

Hi great video always find your videos fascinating the amount of history in cemeteries is amazing and reading the names out is respectful to the people resting iam sure they appreciate you visiting possum😊

What if a person took a transatlantic flight to visit this cemetery to find a grave of an ancestor and pay homage to them and you had to walk on the grass to get to it? I am going to freaking walk on that grass to get to my ancestor! Absolutely ridiculous! People can be respectful and walk on the grass. Good heavens! I've never heard such nonsense.

Thanks Dan!

Yes, we can hear you. Amazing cemetery!

If you can't walk over to read a gravestone, then why is there writing on it in the first place. May as well all be blank grave stones. This isn't a trail; or park it's a graveyard .

Awesome walk as always except for the Karen in the graveyard. Who died and made him king of the yard?

I love the owls

IF walking on the grass is forbidden, then so is running over the grass with a mower. Then there is also the digging of the grass which cannot be done unless someone walks on the grass. This would have been a good Fawlty Towers sketch. How would Basil have handled this situation?

thank you for sharing this historic video I appreciate all your efforts

The celtic cross tombstone near the stairs down, the one left of the red stone one is actually my grandfathers. Not been there in awhile myself.

What a load of bs, if they don't want people to be on the grass then why's there no signs proclaiming that fact. Little man's on a bit of a power trip if ya ask me.

Well their families do not visit--wonderful that you do and take us with you !!! I am sure the deceased do not mind at all ..

Obviously, the cemetery was for the great and the good. Looking at the size and quality of the gravestones and statuary, it wasn’t for Fred and Mary of Beggars Wynd. Maybe the grounds people are hyper vigilant to avoid vandalism. Thanks for taking us there. I quite like the faces on some of the graves. It makes them less anonymous.
