I don't know if you are aware but there is a memorial in Edinburgh to them at Waterloo Place, it is a long Needle, please see photo attached, by kind permission of DavidFarmbrough.

It was erected in 1844 and stands in what was the old Calton Burial ground, next to it was the Calton Jail no longer there, the Jail was demolished but the part next to the needle remains and is part of St. Andrews House.

Best.

Archie
