  3. Historic Greyfriars Kirk, basking in spring sunshine.

    Despite all the stories of supposed hauntings, I have never been bothered by a spectre when filming here, even on night shoots. I assume the ghosts only go after tourists 😋.

    Of course we said hello to wee Greyfriars Bobby, who is buried near the entrance (people leave him sticks to chase, rather sweet).

  5. Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh is a renowned haunted site enriched by its deep historical significance and spectral tales, including the notorious Mackenzie Poltergeist and Greyfriars Bobby’s ghost. #greyfriars #ghosts connectparanormal.net/2025/04/

  6. Part of #Greyfriars #Kirkyard that was used as a #Covenantor's #prison. In 1679 over one thousand supporters of the National Covenant who had been defeated by Government forces at the battle of Bothwell Brig on June 22 were #imprisoned here. For over four months they were held here without any shelter, each man being allowed 4 ounces of bread a day.

  7. Looking at photos from my trip to #edinburgh and found the photos from Greyfriars… it’s interesting how prominent the skull and crossbones are on these old headstones.
