The Scottish Cemetery at Calcutta was established in 1820 catering to the specific needs of the large Scottish population in the Kolkata area. These Scots, including soldiers, missionaries, jute traders and businessmen, were attached to numerous enterprises in the area such as the headquarters of the East India Company, and the administration of the British India, whose capital was here. The cemetery was utilised until the 1940s but was abandoned in the 1950s and neglected following India's independence. It is owned by the St Andrew's Church, Kolkata, and is being currently restored by conservation architects Neeta Shubhrajit Das Associates, and the project funded by the Kolkata Scottish Heritage Trust, Edinburgh.
