A small portion of the kirk of Gogar, which still exists, was converted into a family burying-ground, by the proprietor of the estate, soon after the Reformation.  In 1748, Sir Robert Myreton of Gogar applied to the presbytery for a feu of the glebe and church-yard of Gogar, consisting of four acres of arable land, then let at L.4 per annum, and he offered to pay to the minister and his successors that rent as a perpetual feu-duty.   This arrangement was formally agreed to by the Presbytery, and was acted on down to the year 1825, when Dr. Scott, then clergyman of the parish, having been advised that the transaction was illegal, raised an action against Mr. Ramsay of Barnton, and was successful in recovering the glebe and church-
yard as an inalienable property of the church.  It is now let by the clergyman at a rent of L. 4 per acre.
