This hauntingly beautiful graveyard surrounds the 17th-century Greyfriars Kirk and holds centuries of Edinburgh's history within its moss-covered stones. Wander among the weathered monuments and ornate Victorian memorials while soaking in the atmospheric blend of gothic architecture and peaceful gardens. The kirkyard is particularly famous for its connection to the Covenanters, making it a poignant reminder of Scotland's religious history.
