Following the discovery of skeletal material during building works, a number of human burials were excavated.
Six near complete extended inhumations were recorded; bones from several other individuals were recovered as disturbed material. The top of the skull of one of the skeletons had been sawn off and then replaced before burial. The burials are associated with the church of Lady Hay of Yester which stood on the site between 1647 and 1803; the churchyard was used by the Royal Infirmary as a burying ground.
