Greyfriars Kirkyard Tour in Edinburgh

This guided tour of Greyfriars Kirkyard (Scots for ‘churchyard) will reveal to you the stories of some of Scottish history’s most fascinating and significant characters. That’s something very special.That’s something that makes our Greyfriars tour almost unique. Come with us and you’ll get one of the most comprehensive Greyfriars Kirkyard tours available.

Our Greyfriars Kirkyard Projector Tour is a refinement of our summer ‘Resurrectionists Tour’. There we used A3 booklets to show you which characters were buried under some of the tombs and monuments; now we can take it a step further! Over the Winter months, our projector tour lets us shine an image of the person buried here directly on the ground in which they lie or, on a nearby tomb.

These special effects aren’t used as a gimmick. We use the projectors respectfully; Greyfriars is Church of Scotland ground and, importantly; these people are buried here!
