We went on a day when the church building wasn't open, but there was plenty to look at in the cemetery anyway. The grounds are well kept. THere is a Harry Potter Trail tour that meets just outside of the churchyard every day. We spoke with one of the tour guides and learned that several of the graves have names... More

Came across Bobby's statue and it drew me into the yard. Wandered a while before talking to volunteers and learning about Gaelic concert as part of Trad Fest. Came back and was thrilled. What a venue. Good going guys.

This graveyard was one of the stops on our walking tour of the city and while a graveyard wouldn't be a usual stop, this one is filled with history.

We visited Greyfriars Kirk as it's known locally during our visit to Edinburgh. It is a lovely old building with plenty of secrets and history to discover. If you have the chance ask one of the church volunteers to give you some of the history, we were there for an orchestral concert by the Edinburgh University Musical Society which was... More

nice place to visit & walk round - most people walk past & miss the entrance. find Bobby the doggy entrance only a few meters from there ! Brilliant on a sunny day to sit & ponder
