The Scottish Cemetery in Kolkata
The Scottish Cemetery in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, was the resting place of many Scots associated with the East India Company, the tea and the jute trades. As part of a team assembled by the Kolkata Scottish Heritage Trust, archaeologist Tom Addyman has played an important role in researching and recording the contents of the site, enhancing our understanding of the cemetery’s historic and diasporic significance. He presents an overview.
