Greyfriars Kirkyard stands as witness to many of the momentous developments & events that have shaped Edinburgh over the centuries. Here we can still find much evidence of the pre reformation period, the defence of the city, the reformation itself, the growth of the city, periods of prosperity, periods of plague, periods of social upheaval and warfare. Through looking at the kirkyard, the memorials in it and the people buried here we can still feel those events and the impact they had on life & death in Edinburgh.
Tours will take place on Sunday 4 May, Sunday 6 July and Sunday 7 September. Pre-booking is essential as spaces are strictly limited.
Meeting point: just inside the Candlemaker Row entrance to the Kirkyard, on the left.
