Dunfermline Abbey

Autumn of the year 1832 was a deadly one for the population of Dunfermline. The cholera outbreak in Scotland had its origin in Sunderland, a ship had brought the deadly bacteria into the port. The first case was reported the day before Christmas 1831. A few months later, when the epidemic had already been ravaging England and the central belt of Scotland, it finally arrived in Dunfermline. And there it killed. Quoted from the Graveyards of Scotland website
