Tomb of Arctic explorer, John Rae... right up the back of the Cathedral.
I've always loved this, ever since I was a wee girl.

A pedant writes : This isn't actually Rae's tomb it's a memorial. He's buried in the cathedral graveyard along the wall backing onto Coplands Lane.

When I was a bairn, I used to wonder what this man was doing sleeping up the back of the cathedral! *blush*
