Thanks for all the comments they are much appreciated! Burials in Leith occured over three cemeteries. South Leith (which I have not visited yet) North Leith and for a time Restalrig. If you have any specific names/locations to watch out for I could look when visiting. South Leith, I believe is a fairly big cemetery but the earlier gravestones are roughly organized the old craft guilds, so occupation might be useful. Many cemeteries have/are having their headstones transcribed, though I'm not sure if the Leith/Prestonpans ones have been done.
Two skulls and a heap of bones held loosely in folds of drapery.
