Purani Delhi mein Kashmiri Gate ke paas sthit hai Lothian Cemetery. Yah kabristan 200 saal se adhik purana hai. Yeh Angrezon ke samy ka Isaiyon ka karistan hai.
Purane record ke anusar ye mana jata hai ki 18vi shatabdi poorv muslim yahan apne logon ko dafnate the. Kyunki Angrezon ko yah sthan bahut bada aur saaf dikha unhone ise Angrezon ka kabristan bana diya. Istemal karne se pehle isey saaf kiya gaya, sabhi purani kabron ko khod kar unke avsheshon ko hata diya gaya. Iss kabristan ka naam uss angrej ke naam par pada jisne Angrezi shasan ke liye ise taiyar kiya tha.
1857 ke vidroh ke dauran isme kai logon ki kabr banai gayi thi. Yahan par kai tarah ke bhooton ki kahaniyan prachalit hain, jaise sir kate bhoot ki. Logon ne aksar aata jaate yahan par ek sir kate aadmi ka bhoot dekha hai. Yahan se kafi jivit vyakti gayab ho chuke hain.Bataya jata hai ki yah bhoot apne jamane mein Angrez sipahi tha jiska naam Gen. Nicholas tha. Angrez sipahi Nicholas ek Bhartiye mahila, jo ki vivahit thi, se prem karta tha, lekin apni premika dwara thukrae jane par usne khud apne sir par goli maar li thi aur tab se har amavasya ke din uss sipahi ka bhoot iss sthan par tahalta nazar aata hai.
