Greyfriar's, Edinburgh

[duncan]

just a few pics from a flying visit, probably a lot more worth seeing here. Seemed to be at least 3 guided tours happening at the same time when I was there (bit of moonlighting for you Ronnie?)



oh, them bones them bones them dry bones...


'covenanters prison', but it just looked like more graves. probably an interesting story behind it:

Two summers ago the Covenanters' Prison area was sealed off because of the number of "paranormal activities" taking place within its confines. Apparently tourists were experiencing poltergeists in full effect -- grabbing, throttling, etc. etc.

I remember reading an article on it when I was working through there in August 2002. The photos showed "phantom bruises" that had appeared as this particular person was walking through the prison.

Wooooh... spooky, n'est pa?
