This quiet graveyard, right next to the Burns Monument in Edinburgh, features some ornate tombstones and also boasts a view out to Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace.  It was built as an extension to the Old Calton Burial Ground and is the final resting place of several members of the family of Robert Louis Stevenson.

A colourful note:  yellow green was a brand new Crayola colour back in 1930.  Its name describes its characteristics fairly clearly, but this shade has also had a few wilder Crayola names, including Alien Armpit.
I did check my archives for a photo to match that crayon name, but no joy.  But then, is joy the right word?
