Our family was in Edinburgh in October '05 and on a whim we decided to take a 'hop-on/hop-off' bus - a great way to see an unfamiliar city. We had travelled the circuit of the 'Auld Town', travelled most the length of the Royal Mile, passed Holyrood Palace and then circled the base of Calton Hill along Regent Road heading back to Princes Street we passed behind the 'Calton New Burial Ground'.
The 'Audio Tour Guide' informed us that; "the inventor of the modern crossword puzzle was a native of Edinburgh and is now buried in the New Calton".
There was a slight wry pause and it then went on to say: "His tomb is that big one, seven across and three down!"
