HI Tony! My Brother and I so enjoyed visiting Greyfriars kirkyard when we were in Edinburgh in May. I thought it was great that they had a place you could donate to the upkeep of the church and yard- what a great way to help out to keep something so unique for the future! We also were lucky enough to find a couple of sticks to place on Bobby's grave and told him "Good boy, Bobby!" Thanks for walking me down memory road- we loved Edinburgh!
Well....Passport...Check. Scottish Memories Tickets...Check.
The Scottish Memories Series was such a treat during the "time" you made them and my favorite of your videos. Seeing this "Live"???? What's better than that?
After I married my Edinburgh born husband my father-in-law, who was a doctor, took me around that kirk yard with some particularly gruesome stories. I had nightmares for months afterwards!
Another fun video!Thank you Tony! All the best to you and your family!
Thank you for another great video. They are always so interesting. Enjoy your weekend.
There is one of the impressive mausoleums up the Flodden wall for the Adams family of architects. Architects for some amazing buildings across GB yet nothing in their home town of Kirkcaldy!
It’s a beautiful kirk yard. We like visiting it later in the day when most of the tours are done. It’s very atmospheric when quiet.
Great video Tony, I really enjoy learning about Greyfriars. I noticed that your anti-theft tags weren't floating around - Have that situation improved? I'm hoping so!
like always Tony great video showing great history about your beautiful city like all ways
Thank you, Tony! I love these videos, the ones with interesting info that we otherwise wouldn't know.
I always visit Scotland, outside of the tourist season.
So I usually have Greyfriars to myself; although I did do a night tour once, years ago with about 10 others 😉
I think Mortsafe or Mortgate originate from the French word 'la mort' for death 🤔
hello from Denmark 🌸
Brilliant a new Clan Broonfeld upload on one of my favourite subjects 😊😊 thank you very much for your time and effort xxx
Interesting history! It’s so lush and green there
Thanks again Tony for the info. I look forward to your videos on a Saturday morning , hope you and your family are well , keep up the good work 👏 🙌
Morning, Tony. I was in the City... Again. 2 weeks back. For Scotland's 3 Hottest days, this year! Sat 26c, Sun 27c & Mon 28c. It was another wonderful Trip.
I too love Greyfriars Kirkyard. And directly behind the grave of John ( Jock) Gray? There's a Grave with the Name, 'Potter' on it. I hope that you K and the Kids are keeping well. Take care, my Friend...O
One of my favourite places to go in Edinburgh 😍
Countdown 9 days for me coming to Edinburgh. I want to thank you for helping me learn all about it and I’ll be on the lookout for you so I can say hello.
Welcome to Scotland, welcome to Edinburgh. Have a great time and enjoy yourself.❤😊
My family is from Edinburgh and one of my ancestors is buried in Greyfriars’ Kirkyard.
Hi Tony, I found this really informative. I was unaware of the Harry Potter connection, a little sad to see the queues of tourists to be honest. As kids more than 60 odd years ago me and my pals used to sit with our backs to the kirk wall as the sun went down. The first to run was the shanner! To be sure the rest of us were right on his heels. Keep up the good work.
I will be brave and take some tourists on a pub crawl Tony I will need sponsorship though 😅 nice work . Andy
Hey Tony as always great videos and it's great to have you back , we all love having you back home you and the family are well? You know I'm a big fan of yours keep them coming sir 😊
Love Greyfriars ❤
