Mortonhall Baby Ashes Memorial

Highlight • Natural Monument

A really beautiful memorial to the children of the Mortonhall baby ashes scandal. As I understand it, parents who lost their young born baby, were told after the cremation of their babie that there were no ashes, but it emerged in 2012 that remains were secretly buried in the garden of remembrance at Mortonhall Crematorium.

Very nice to cycle around the meadows. You get a nice view of Arthur seat and there are plenty of cafes around as well as a few bike shops nearby. It can get busy with pedestrians at times.
