Connla or Conlaoch is a character in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, the son of the Ulster champion Cú Chulainn and the Scottish warrior woman Aífe. He was raised alone by his mother in Scotland, he appears in the story Aided a pre-tale to the great epic Táin Bó Cúailnge. Connla was the son of Cú Chulainn and Aífe Ardgeimm, identified in this text as the sister of his teacher Scáthach. Leaving to return to Ireland, Cú Chulainn gives Aífe a gold thumb-ring, telling her that when his son is old enough to wear it, he should be sent to Ireland. However, he imposes three prohibitions on him. Connla cannot turn back once he starts his journey, he must not refuse a challenge, must never tell anyone his name. Connla comes ashore at Tracht Eisi; the Ulaid, observing these, recognise his skill as a warrior, Conchobar observes that any land which produces young boys of such skill must be home to warriors who would'pound to dust'. They send Condere son of Echu to encounter him, Condere asks Connla for his name and lineage, which he refuses to give.

Condere welcomes Connla, complimenting his skill as a warrior and inviting him to meet the Ulaid. But Connla only asks whether the Ulaid would like to fight him in single combat, or as a group, telling Condere that he is not worth fighting. Condere returns to the Ulaid, Conall Cernach goes out to meet Connla, saying, "The Ulaid will not be shamed while I am alive." Connla strikes Conall with a stone from his slingshot that knocks him off his feet, disarms him. Conall returns shamed to the rest of the Ulaid. Cú Chulainn approaches Connla, but Emer, his wife, warns him not to fight him, identifying the boy as "Conla, the only son of Aífe". Cú Chulainn rebukes her, saying that heroic deeds "are not performed with a woman's assistance", that for the sake of the Ulaid, he would fight any intruder no matter who they were, he asks Connla to identify himself, warning him that he will die if he does not. They wrestle in the water, with Connla gaining the upper hand, until Cú Chulainn resorts to the gae bolga, a weapon whose use Scáthach taught only to him, Connla is fatally wounded.

Cú Chulainn identifies him to the Ulaid as his son. Connla greets each of the heroes of the Ulaid in turn before bidding his father farewell and dying, he is grieved, a marker is raised for his grave, "and for three days not a calf of the cattle of the Ulaid was left alive after him". There are two versions of Aided Óenfhir Aífe; the earliest is a late Old Irish text, found in the Yellow Book of Lecan, the most well-known version and the source of the narrative above. It has been dated to the 10th century. There is a version in TCD 1336, appended with legal commentary about accountability and compensation. Versions of the story appear in the dinnsenchas of Lechtán Óenfhir Aífe, Geoffrey Keating's History of Ireland, in an Early Modern Irish version, entitled Oidheadh Chonlaoich; the story of Connla's death by his father's hand is related in the WB Yeats poem "Cuchulain's Fight with the Sea," first published in 1892. The poetic retelling differs in several respects from the original myth, including portraying Connla as the son of Emer and not Aífe.

Rosebank Cemetery is a 19th-century burial ground in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located at the junction of Pilrig Street and Broughton Road in the Pilrig area, close to the historical boundary of Leith; the cemetery is protected as a category C listed building. The cemetery was developed by the Edinburgh and Leith Cemetery Company, with David Cousin as architect, opened on 20 September 1846, it covers an area of 4.37 hectares. Known as the Edinburgh and Leith Cemetery, the cemetery proved popular and was extended eastwards around 1880; the main entrance was from the north-west but this has been sealed. The sole entrance is now from the north-east; the latter had an entrance lodge above the gate, but this was demolished around 1975. The cemetery was in independent private ownership until around 1980 when the City of Edinburgh Council took over the grounds. A large memorial at the furthest point from the current Pilrig Street entrance, lying against Broughton Road wall near North Pilrig Heights, marks a mass grave and commemorates the Gretna rail disaster of 22 May 1915, in which 215 soldiers of the 1st/7th Battalion The Royal Scots were killed.

The men from Leith, were on their way to board ship at Liverpool in order to travel to the battlefront at Gallipoli. The handful of survivors were sent onwards the following day; the bodies of those killed in the railway disaster were returned to Leith and buried with great aplomb on 24 May with the 15th and 16th battalions Royal Scots serving as guard of honour. These are among 270 First World War casualties and 36 Second World War casualties interred at Rosebank; the cemetery houses the main war memorial to the two world wars, serving the Pilrig area, marked by a white cross designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Over and above this memorial and the Gretna Memorial there are several war graves scattered through the cemetery for individuals who died of wounds or disease on return from the war. A number of 19th-century merchants and ship-owners, ship-builders and ship-masters from Leith are buried at Rosebank. There are several 20th-century Sikh and Islamic burials; the high number of "pilots" refers to harbour pilots rather than aircraft pilots.

Unusual surnames found include Arcus, Combe, Eunson, Goalen, Kellock, Spaven and Waldie. Those who are homeless and die on the street along with several stillborn children are buried at the cemetery; the latter are marked by a modern monument giving a place to remember them, in interlocking granite pieces representing mother and child. The inscription reads "to all those children never known but always loved". An abnormally high number of stones are noted as "drowned" or "lost at sea". Thomas Aitken, Provost of Leith from 1887-1893 James Bertram, engineer Rev William Garden Blaikie, Ida Bonanomi Queen Victoria's dresser; the stone and lair were paid for by the Queen. Although not obvious due to the infilling of paths the stone lies at the centre of the cemetery and was the focal point of the main north south path as approaching from the south. Alan Brebner, civil engineer and an associate of lighthouse designers David and Thomas Stevenson. George Craig architect, his wife, Annie Blackie is the oldest person in the cemetery.

James Yearsley, aural surgeon, was born in 1805 to a north-country family settled in Cheltenham. Adopting a medical career, he became a pupil of Ralph Fletcher of Gloucester, married his daughter. Yearsley moved to London, he was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries in 1827. D. at St. Andrews University in 1862. After practising for a short time in Cheltenham, he established himself about 1829 as a general practitioner at Ross in Herefordshire, he removed to London about 1837, started to practise as an aural surgeon. He opened an institution for the relief of diseases of the ear in Sackville Street, in 1846 he became surgeon to the Royal Society of Musicians, he founded a hospital specialising in the diseases of the ear, the Metropolitan Ear Nose and Throat Hospital in Kensington. Yearsley deserves recognition as one who assisted in bringing aural surgery out of the degraded position it held at the beginning of the 19th century.

He insisted upon the connection between deafness and disease of the naso-pharynx. At first he practised the removal of the tonsils as an aid to recovery from deafness, but in life experience led him to modify his views, he performed tonsillectomy much less often. Yearsley learnt, the value of an artificial tympanum in the relief of certain forms of deafness, he justly recommended the use of the simplest form of film in preference to the more complex tympana employed by some of his contemporaries. Yearsley was less scientific than either George Pilcher or Joseph Toynbee, though original in his views and bold in expressing his opinions, he too spoilt his cause by his controversial temperament, he was the originator and proprietor of the Medical Circular from 1852 until it was consolidated with the Dublin Medical Press in January 1866. Jointly with two other members of his profession, Dr. Tyler Smith and Dr. Forbes Benignus Winslow, he founded the ‘'Medical Directory'’, becoming its sole proprietor on the retirement of his two partners.

Yearsley's works were: ` Improved Methods of treating Diseases of the Ear,' 1840, 12mo. ` Contributions to Aural Surgery,' 1841, 12mo. ‘Stammering,’ &c. London, 1841, 8vo. 1841. ` A Treatise on Enlarged Tonsils,' 1842, 8vo. 1848. ‘On Throat Deafness,’ London, 1853, 8vo. 1868. ‘Deafness Practically Illustrated,’ London, 1854, 12mo. Yearsley died at his house in Savile Row, London, on 9 July 1869, was buried at Sutton Bonnington, in Nottinghamshire. A memorial plaque on his former clinic at 32 Sackville Street, Piccadilly was unveiled on 27 May 1994 which reads "Westminster City Council Dr. James Yearsley, MD, MRCS, LRCP, 1805 - 1869, founded the Metropolitan Ear Institute here in 1838.
