From the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership's website. Advance notice of an annual remembrance service:
Royal Scots Service
Gretna Rail Disaster
Saturday 19th May
Rosebank Cemetery
10-30am.
(Assemble 10am. Pilrig St. Entrance)
Annual Service of Remembrance at the Royal Scots Memorial in Rosebank Cemetery, where 214 men of the 1/7th Leith Royal Scots are interred as a result of the horrific Gretna Rail Disaster on the 22nd May 1915.
We use the nearest Saturday to the Disaster date which will be the 19th May 2012 meeting at 10am. at the Pilrig entrance to Rosebank Cemetery, we shall then proceed to the Memorial for a 10.30am Service. With so many groups and associations committed throughout the City on Armistice Day (11th November) we wish to hold a "Remembrance Service" when people are more readily available.
This service will allow... "Leithers".... ex Royal Scots'...ex Service men and others an opportunity to show their respects. Prayers will also be said for our forces serving in Afghanistan and their families, and the children who also died at Quintinshill.
Please come and show your respects.
