In the 19th Century, Scottish citizens made a significant contribution to our country, city, and even Laurel Hill ! At 26 years old, Scottish immigrant John Notman, rose above more established architects, like Thomas Ustick Walter, and won the design commission of the cemetery and some of its monuments. Notman now rests a stone’s throw away from the Gatehouse he designed. This tour will acquaint you with Notman and other famous and infamous Scots of days gone by like the cantankerous signer of the Declaration of Independence, Bonny Prince Charlie’s surgeon who became the hero of the Battle of Princeton, the craftsman responsible for George Washington’s tomb at Mt. Vernon, and many more.
