BURIALS IN THE ABBEY OF HOLYROODHOUSE.

rpHE Registers of Burials in the church and churchyard of -*- Holyrood begin with a single detached page — the record of the years 1565-68. After a blank they begin again in 1612, and continue, for a time in duplicate even, till 1675. These Registers are in the Register House. In 1672 the Privy Council " at his Majesty's desire discharged the use of the church as a parish church " (Scott Fasti). But it was not till 1691 that a new parish church (the Canongate Church) was founded, and only about the same time that a new burial-ground for the parish was provided. Holyrood Church had been designed by the king in 1672 to be used as a Chapel Royal exclusively, but it continued to be a place of burial for members of the nobility, and for distinguished strangers who died in Edinburgh.

The date when the separate Register of these burials begins is 17th January, 1706. The original register of them not being a parish register, is at Holyrood House. A certified copy from of the last-mentioned date till 28th August, 1854, is preserved in the custody of the Registrar of the Canongate District. Prefixed to it are some extracts from Sir James Balfour's historical works, narrating previous burials in the Abbey, &c. Another copy, which belonged to the late Sir William Fraser, is in the Lyon Office. It is from this latter copy that the first part of the following print is made ; the remainder is from that in the hands of the District Registrar. We are indebted to Mr. F. J. Grant, Rothesay Herald, for the transcript from which the print is now made.
