This is the Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh Old Town. It is the churchyard associated with Greyfriars Bobby.
It is a very old burial ground as you can see. The graves back on to a row of terraces houses/shops called Candlemakers Row.
Here are some flowers at the grave of James Brown, Sexton , who befriended Bobby after the death of his master.
You can read the story here.
And a shot across the graveyard to Herriots School:

What fab photos and I did not know the story of Greyfriars Bobby - how moving - thank you so much for sharing it.
Hi Pam,
I'm from Alabama, USA and just LOVE your photos- so lovely! Look forward to seeing more of your country through your camera!
The vies in the third-from-last photo is so bizzare - graves against the wacky buildings. I love the church, and the story is so moving, thank you!
