MEETING POINT is at the Polish plot at the main entrance to the cemetery off Jeanfield Road.

During the 1939-1945 war this cemetery was one of those selected for use as a Polish cemetery when Scotland became the base for the Polish Armed Forces in the United Kingdom. This is at the southern end of the Jeanfield Division and contains over 350 burials.

In a commanding position in the cemetery, and north of the Commonwealth 1939-1945 War graves, stands a granite Cross of Sacrifice.

There are now over 90, 1914-1918 and over 120, 1939-1945 Commonwealth War Dead commemorated in this site.

Limited parking available nearby, no facilities available, hilly/steep slopes on site.

Please come dressed for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.

The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).
