Scope and Content Dean Cemetery, Belford Road, Dean, Edinburgh Dean Cemetery was laid out in 1845 by the architect David Cousin in the extensive grounds of the early 17th-century Dean House, which had been, for many generations, the seat of the Nisbet family, and was demolished earlier that same year. The cemetery is laid out with avenues and walkways in natural woodland. It is surrounded on all four sides by a high stone wall, along which are memorials to judges, architects, painters, writers and other eminent Edinburgh citizens. Those buried in Dean Cemetery include the judge Lord Cockburn, the architects William Playfair and Robert Reid, the decorator Thomas Bonnar, the surgeon James Syme, and Professor John Wilson who wrote for 'Blackwood's Magazine' as Christopher North.
