Created from the grounds of the old house of the Nisbets of Dean, Dean Cemetery was set out by David Cousin, who is buried here.
The Epitaph
Here lies, now a prey to insulting neglect,
What once was a butterfly, gay in life's beam:
Want only of wisdom denied her respect,
Want only of goodness denied her esteem.
Robert Burns
The image shows Dean House, and was first published in Edinburgh Old and New by James Grant.
