Make a pilgrimage to Greyfriars Churchyard, one of the most famous cemeteries in Edinburgh

#HarryPotterFansRecommendation #CemeteryFansRecommendation Located on the edge of the old town, Greyfriars Kirkyard was built in the 16th century. It is an ancient cemetery with a long history around Greyfriars Kirk Church. Its history dates back to the 1500s and is said to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world. The cemetery has also witnessed the burial of many historical figures, from its first famous resident William Adam to its last famous resident, botanist William Wright. The cemetery always gives people a deserted and gloomy feeling, but the Greyfriars Church Cemetery🪦 seems very lively. Kirkyard is famous for being the burial place of many famous Scottish residents, and the loyal Greyfriars Bobby was famous for guarding his master's grave here for 14 years. In the end, he was also buried here. This is also one of the sources of inspiration for writer J.K. Rowling when she created "Harry Potter". The entire church cemetery also inspired Godric's Hollow in "Harry Potter" and is also the filming location for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". If you’re a Harry Potter fan, keep an eye out for George Heritage School, which can be seen from the graveyard. Also, see the tombstone of Tom Riddell, the man who inspired the character of @Voldemort. The strong "Harry Potter" atmosphere here attracts countless tourists from all over the world to visit and make pilgrimages. #travel #touristattractions #attractions #popularattractions #check-in hotspots #photography spots #photography check-in #overseastravel #historicalbuildings #historicalsites
