  • go and check out the notice board - people sometimes leave poems. really rubbish ones - "wee grayfriars bobby, how you wished! at your masters grave you pined, but never pished..." also badly spelt letters from primary school kids. mind out fer the junkies though eh?
  • A truly beautiful church and peaceful Kirkyard. The local street drinkers are OK if you talk to them and will happily share their cider. Say hi to Robin and Craig, the sweetie wives in the church office if you visit.
  • We went on a ghost tour here to learn about the Poltergeist of Bloody MacKenzie. The big guy who was the tour guide told us that the tale of Greyfriers Bobby was a load of bollocks!
