My only experience with Canongate Kirk was a visit with an Edinburgh Ghost tour, well after midnight many months ago.
Kirk’s the word for a Scottish Church, and Canongate serves the Parish that includes the Scottish Parliament! Unfortunately I can’t give a detailled recollection of how beautiful the church was etc etc because the only part of it I’m familiar with is it’s graveyard! Morbid I know, but if you’ve ever been on one of these Ghost tours, that’s exactly what you’re in for.
There are several prominent figures buried here, many important Scots men and women. I keep reading and hearing that Adam Smith is by far the most important person buried there, but to be honest I was much more amused by the tales of the gruesome and mysterious ends the other grave «inhabitants» had met. I’ve uploaded an extremely helpful photo of a gravestones. Charming I know.

This is a beautiful old Kirk. They hold part of the Witchery Tours in here and it can feel quite spooky when on the tour. It has a very atmospheric and spooky feel to the Kirk. It is a lovely old building and is easy to access, with it being a 5 minute walk from Edinburgh Centre. It is down the old part of town and situated in a lovely part of Edinburgh. Burke and Hare were alledgedly supposed to have dug up some of their bodies from this Kirk graveyard. Well worth a visit if you are down this part of town.
