A phenomenal place to appreciate and learn the different means of remembering those at rest in Greyfriars. The graveyard contains tens of thousands of people, from criminals without headstones to some of Scotland's wealthiest people. The rich & influential have the most elaborate headstones and mausoleums (grave houses).

Love coming here! Especially when I bring my kids (all college age) and we find the gravestones from the Harry Potter books! Plus all the other history... it’s amazing!

This little cemetery has such a nice atmosphere... Obviously a good spot for the potterheads, but it's beautiful and you can find the grave of Bobby the dog, who's got quite the story, too.

Another view on the old town. And a interesting place to visit. Day and night.
You can have a look after names that inspired the Harry Potter world.

Beautiful quiet spot in the heart of the city... Stunning views of the old town from the graveyard. Amazing venue in the kirk itself. Available for hire but need to book months (if not years) in advance to secure your date!

Beautiful and spooky cemetery in Edinburgh. My walking tour guide Erik told me that many strange things happened in this cemetery especially in the night. However during the day it seems pretty nice place to visit. It has a beautiful garden, many trees and a church.

Admittedly this place wasn't even on my radar as a place to visit but my friend took me here explaining the history surrounding this place. It's a very interesting on at that, I would highly recommend exploring it and seeing what it has to offer.

The amount of history and beauty in the small area is amazing. So very worth taking a couple hours to wander through.
