Edinburgh 900: Unburying the History in Greyfriars Kirkyard
Sunday, September 7
Greyfriars Kirkyard stands as witness to many of the momentous developments and events that have shaped Edinburgh over the centuries. Here we can still find much evidence of the pre-Reformation period, the defence of the city, the Reformation itself, the growth of the city, and periods of prosperity, plague, social upheaval, and warfare. Through looking at the Kirkyard, the memorials in it, and the people buried here, we can still feel those events and the impact they had on life and death in Edinburgh.
