Celebrating Greyfriars Kirk's 400 Years

Built atop the old Franciscan Friary in post-Reformation Scotland, Greyfriars Kirk now marks its 400th anniversary. Located in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, this church was established in 1620, becoming the first church constructed in post-Reformation Edinburgh. It remains an active parish and opens its doors to tourists eager to explore. The interior architecture is stunning, and there’s a small exhibit about the graveyard's history. The staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions!
