There are no famous tombs of any great personalities. But the cemetery of the family members of soldiers, 'lords', generals(military) and all. It's near to the Red Fort. It's also near to the main road connecting New Delhi and Old Delhi.

Lothian Cemetery, is one of the oldest Christian cemeterys of Delhi located in Lothian Road that lies in Kauria Bridge bus stop, near to the General Post Office at Kashmiri Gate in Old Delhi.
This is the oldest graveyard of the Christian community of Delhi who were buried here between 1808 and 1867.[1] Lothian cemetery was built in the year 1808 and closed to burials in the 1960s.[2] This burial ground is known as a haunted place of Delhi.[3][4] Numerous European soldiers were buried here with most of them killed during the first battle of Independence of India in 1857 or Indian Rebellion of 1857. Staffs of East India Company, British women and children who had died in cholera epidemics were also buried there.[5] Although the cemetery is under the preservation of Archaeological Survey of India it is presently seen in a dilapidated state.
There are lots of mythical stories related with Lothian Cemetery. Rumour is that one British officer Sir Nicholas's ghost roams in the graveyard. Nicholas fell in love with an Indian lady but could not be married. Heartbroken Nicholas shot himself in the head. Some people believe headless Nicholas cries out the name of the woman he loved and walks in the cemetery.
