This very ground was consecrated ground long before the New World was even a glimmer in anyone’s eye. A poignant figure from Scotland’s past rests here, forever entwined with Lasswade Old Kirkyard. The 17th-century poet, William Drummond of Hawthornden. He found his final resting place within these hallowed grounds, his words echoing still through the ages.

As you leave this peaceful place behind, take these stories with you, let them remind you of the enduring power of history, legacy, and the quiet dignity of a life well-lived.
