Greyfriars Kirkyard Edinburgh
The world famous graveyard that has the Tom Riddle, Voldemort from Harry Potter, and the Bobby the Dog graves.In general the park is well organized and clean.Bobby's grave is in front of the entrance on the National Museum side while, if you want to find Tom's one if you have to go exactly in the opposite direction and you will find it being the west wall.

Such an amazing graveyard and Kirk. Famous of course for Greyfriars Bobby and names synonymous with the Harry Potter books. The stonework here on the tombs is extraordinary and you could easily spend a few hours here. There are also parts of the Flodden Wall through the graveyard and simply stunning views of Edinburgh Castle.

As far as cemeteries go, it’s not terribly packed, which lends itself to a leisurely exploration if that’s your thing. A wide variety of headstones, styles, and years will keep you interested, though many are challenging to decipher, as you’d expect.From Bobby’s to Alexander Henderson, there’s a wealth of fascinating stories to uncover (just not literally, that’s illegal).

We started in Greyfriars as part of a Harry Potter tour and ended up coming back to see more. There are some beautifully decorated old graves here and of course the graves of John Gray and his faithful companion Bobby. Wonderful old crypts giving a real authentic flavour of old Edinburgh. You could spend a lot of time here.

Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh: One of the world’s most famous graveyard and the most haunted. Come in the day for less for spook but you will still get the spine tingling moments like I did at certain spots. It’s hauntingly beautiful and serene but we didn’t dare linger on too long! #eatstylishtravelstylish

A really nice and tranquil graveyard.The church in the centre is beautiful.Apparently some or the names on some of the tombstones inspired the names of some Harry potter characters, especially Tom Riddle.However it felt weird seeing so many people going to these tombstones and taking photos, feels kind of disrespectful to the actual people buried there.You can find lots of people walking their dogs here which is adorable.

A fine kirkyard dating back nearly five hundred years. Lots of famous graves, grave robbers and links with JK Rowling and the Harry Potter phenomena. Well worth a wander.

Fantastically gothic surroundings and wheelchair friendly however can be steep in places whether going up or down.If you're a Harry Potter fan there are x4 interesting graves to look out for and the search is really fun.Be mindful to stick to the paths and don't walk on the grass as you don't want to disturb what lies literally 3 inches or less underneath.Oh and also be mindful that you're sharing the space with many unseen residents where they can and often do make you aware of their presence.

Well worth spending time here - a beautiful and peaceful spot in the city. A lot of love and effort has gone into these memorials, it's very impressive. So much amazing history in one spot.
