Category:Burials at Greyfriars Kirkyard
Help
- This category contains articles about notable people buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
- Note: one of the best-known burials in the grounds of Greyfriars Kirk is not of a human, but of the dog Greyfriars Bobby. While Bobby himself could not be buried in the cemetery proper, since it was consecrated ground, he was buried just inside the gate of the kirkyard, not far from the grave of John Gray, his master.
