St Cuthbert’s has long held a fascination for me. I remember
my first time on a hop on hop off bus and seeing the watch tower looming. I had
heard stories about the body snatchers and this was proof that the stories were
true.
The graveyard is at the west end of Princes’ Street Gardens and has been known as the kirk below the castle.
According to oral tradition, the great missionary, Cuthbert, preached from this spot in the 7th century and established the very first church here.
