Located in St Giles Cathedral Edinburgh at OS Map Ref NT 259 735
Not listed on UKNIWM
This is one of 5 memorials to individuals sited in the old organ loft which is not accessible to the public. My thanks to the museum staff for allowing me exceptional access to take the photos. I am guessing that these memorials may not have been read (or cleaned) for perhaps 100 years!
Sacred to the memory of
Captain James Ranald Burt
Of the 6th Regiment Bengal Light Cavalry
Who died at Ferozepore
8th May 1846 aged 35 years
This tablet was erected by his brother officers as
a memorial of their sorrow for the death of one
who possessed their regard and esteem, one whose
high principles and chivalrous honour rendered
him an ornament to his profession, and a pride to
the corps to which he belonged
you don’t see that on many memorials…………..’ an ornament to his profession’!
