It looks like Nicoll or Nicholl. This should be noted in the article. Charles Matthews 20:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

North or South? edit

I've put 'North' for the Leith graveyard as that is stated on the site I've referred to. However, my memory says 'South' from the two visits I paid to the grave a number of years ago (when the stone was still upright - before the Council's vandalism). Anyone who can check this out for definite? There seems to be a number of mentions for both places (and Smiles says 'Newhaven' - but the gravestone is definitely in one or other of the Leith graveyards). The stone wasn't erected until 70 years after Nicoll's death, but people enthusiastic enough about him to go to this expense would surely have picked the right place - whichever it was!
