A must-visit for cemetery fans: the eerie Old Carlton Cemetery

#外游 #英国旅行 #墓園迷推介 When I crossed the North Bridge from Princes Street, I was caught by the very eye-catching obelisk Martyr’s Monument. The spire that pierced the skyline like this is one of the monuments in the #Old Carlton Cemetery, which is very popular with tourists in Edinburgh. How can a #墓園迷 miss it! 😍😍 #Famous attraction Old Carlton Burial Ground is located in Waterloo place in the city center. Opposite it is the #must-visit hiking spot #Carlton Hill. Before hiking, you may want to leave your footprints in this mysterious #historical tomb👣👣. The cemetery was first opened in 1718. From the arch entrance, you can see the huge pointed obelisk piercing the skyline to commemorate five political martyrs. In addition to the Martyrs' Resting Place Monument, there is also an unforgettable monument topped with a statue of Abraham Lincoln standing on a freed slave to commemorate the Scots who fought and died in the American Civil War. This is the only monument outside the United States marking this conflict, and they have also become the #popularcheck-in point of this cemetery🪦. Walking in this #historicalmonument cemetery, although I saw many tombstones🪦 and tombs have been in disrepair for a long time and seem to have been forgotten by people, I can still clearly see that the unique tombs are all carefully designed, and even have a bit of quirky feeling, which is very eye-catching🤨🤨. Each stone is elegantly and delicately carved with skulls and macabre symbolism; the quiet and eerie alleys also invite visitors to stroll through them to see how they look today, allowing one to imagine how magnificent they must have been in the past. The cemetery and important monuments, as well as their boundaries and screen walls, are now protected as Category A listed buildings. While walking in this charming #attraction, you can also take photos of the memorial tower on Calton Hill and admire the adjacent Governor’s House up close. This cemetery exploration brought me an exciting and fresh #travelexperience 😜😜. #tourism #attractions #sightseeing spots #tourist attractions #tourist destinations #tourist attraction recommendations #tourist destinations #sightseeing attractions #tourism review #check-in hotspots #popular check-in spots #photography spots #photography check-in #photography holy places #consumption voucher guide
