Greyfriars Kirk & Statue

The Kirkyard was home to the famous dog Greyfriars Bobby. His statue can be found just outside this 1620 Kirk in Edinburgh’s Old Town.

This beautiful church holds lots of history, the graveyard has lots of tales of the paranormal stories and is the place J K Rowling took inspiration for names used in her first book. Why not explore the graveyard and see if you can find them!

Enjoy looking around this famous church built on the site of a Franciscan friary where the National Covenant was signed in 1638 and find out about the story of Greyfriars Bobby.
