Greyfriars Kirk

Private Greyfriars Kirkyard tour - 'Meet' the dead of Old Edinburgh with an award-winning local guide

COVID-19

Historic Edinburgh Tours Ltd have successfully achieved the ‘Good to go” standard from Visit Britain which shows we follow current government COVID-19 guidelines and that we have processes in place to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing.


Your Greyfriars Kirkyard tour

The burial ground has some truly incredibly ornate memorials, and we do look at these, but we focus more on the stories of some of the people interred here. Their stories are stories of Edinburgh’s history. Don’t forget; you’ll learn about these characters as you stand only inches away from where their mortal remains lie buried today!   


Come with us as we ‘resurrect’ the dead of Old Edinburgh!

This Greyfriars tour will reveal to you the stories of some of Scottish history’s most fascinating and significant characters. Our focus on history, rather than ghosts, is something that makes our Greyfriars tour different to most other tours which come here. We believe that history can be just as intense, just as spine-tingling as stories of the paranormal.
