Greyfriars Kirkyard is an absolute must-see when visiting Edinburgh! The atmosphere is so unique — peaceful, mysterious, and full of fascinating history. The old tombstones and monuments are incredible to explore, and you can feel the charm of the city’s past all around you. Don’t miss the touching story of Greyfriars Bobby — the little dog who became a symbol of loyalty and love. His statue just outside the gates is adorable and makes for a great photo stop! The cemetery is very well maintained, easy to walk around, and located right in the heart of the Old Town, close to many other attractions. Perfect for a quiet stroll, great photos, and a moment of reflection. Absolutely worth a visit — highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
