That was absolute magic GV! Always loved the story of Greyfriars Bobby - dogs love you unconditionally with absolute loyalty - more so than some ppl. Thanks as always for taking us along. ❤ Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is so rich with history - an incredible city. Loved this visit to Greyfriar’s Kirkyard with all the elaborate carvings and imagery on those 17th century tombs. And Babby, of course❤
I’ve heard about the Greyfryers Bobby before, thank you so much for showing him to us, he was a cute little dog. On the mausoleum of George Mckensie, I could hear sounds like growls. That’s sad about John Gray, and his little dog Bobby. ❤
First you start the video with a demonic sounding something 😮 then you nearly got me crying with the story of Jon Gray and Bobby wtf like 😂 fantastic carvings and monuments to the dead there. But there's also something evil and trapped there. Old prison there is definitely holding something's nasty. I heard it at least 9 times in the first half of the video but it did go. Fantastic video Cathal
I would love to visit Greyfriars Cemetery one day!! However, I think I will avoid Bloody McKenzie's mausoleum like the plague!! Those sounds were pretty spooky!!😰😱👻 Thanks for taking us on your Scottish adventure, GV!! XXXX 💙❤👏🤗💕👍💞
This is a beautiful cemetery! I was so glad you focused on the old greaves we never get to see. What wonderful carvings. I wonder what something like that would cost today? I'm glad a lot of those very old ones can still be read. Thank you, GV. I truly enjoyed this walking tour!
@@cherylschantz9893there are, but they are few. Artists in general are no longer valued in society, so why would anyone work to develop such skills? Nowadays they have lasers to do the engravings and simple designs so it’s affordable.
This was awesome, loved it, I'm pretty sure I could spend a week walking around that place looking at it all. Don't you just love history! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Very touching story of Greyfriars Bobby and master. Dogs are such wondeful life companions. Beautiful churchyard and monuments. Thank you for taking us along with you.🎉🎉🎉 Death where is thy sting...is from 1st Corinthians.
Could be the Colossus of Memnon effect - this is a huge fallen statue in Egypt that moans at certain times and people think it is haunted but the noise is due to air inside the head of the statue expanding when it gets heated up by the sun.
Amazing video! Gosh that place is spooky during the day. I can't imagine being there at night. You truly are brave! Folks. Don't forget to give the video a thumbs up!
Oh thank you so much for another amazing video. I just cried little Bobby little boy so faithful to the end.😢 can't believe how old this graveyard is. ❤🙏
Thanks GV. Love Grey Friars! I have seen many videos and ghost tours of the place but hats off to you. You showed a lot of things I've never seen before :)
This was my favorite cemetery tour with you so far! The Grey Friars cemetery in Edinburgh is fascinating, very old, full of history, and full of skull and cross bones sculptures! Thanks for this instructive and very interesting tour, GV!!
That monument you saw and thought was 1665, and the very ornate one. The carvings on them looked very much like the graves in New England of folk that arrived there in 1620 aboard the Mayflower. I saw them when an American did a tour of the burial place of first and early settlers. Also, on the very ornate tomb was a carving of a man wearing a ruff. This is common to Elizabethan times, remembering that Elizabeth I died in 1603. The Stuarts then came to the throne, and Scotland didn't become part of GB until 1707. Worth remembering when you're looking at these very early dates. Thanks, GV. Very informative. You've got to have some kind of fearlessness to have your house backed onto tombs! 😲
Thanx GV so much. I have been waiting for this ....Great video as always...there is something very haunting about Scotland...and have seen alot and read about McKenzie. 😊 thanx
Amazing and spooky EVP captures there GV! The history in Edinburgh is next level. They have managed to preserve almost all of their buildings and streets it's literally everywhere. Loved this, thanks GV 🙏Teresa 🇦🇺❤
I never knew the story of Greyfriars Bobby - what a lovely tale of devotion. I recognise that devotion - I had a Jack Russell who knew my every move - she was a Minx and I cried at her death, more than I cried for my own mother. I'll never have another dog - couldn't go through that grief ever again ! Thanks for taking us to Edinburgh - I've never been to Scotland, but that Graveyard looks so interesting, as all of them do, and you make such brilliant videos for us to see these places. Thank you so much for taking us on your travels. Take care 🙂
Oh my goodness, this place ☠️ I still have a picture of my friend looking inside McKenzie’s tomb and me standing a couple of meters away ‘cause I ‘knew too much’ of the story to come anywhere near😂 Luckily, no friends were harmed ;-) Love Edinburgh and all it’s dark history. Great vid GV, thanks!
this was absolutley amazing GV ❤ I've always wanted to go here so glad you have filmed it and love hearing the stories again of the Greyfriar Bobby and the Mackenzie vault 😊
Great video, some of the most intricately detailed monuments I've ever seen... Cannot imagine how fabulous they must appear in person 😊 Great EVP capture, as well 😮
Beautiful graveyard with so many ornate stoneworks. Glad they are taking care of it. I saw the movie about Grey friers Bobby. Cried 😢. Ok I heard that too 😮. Great tour GV! Thanks❤
Very interesting tour with impressive graves and who knows those sounds could have been from the other side... how ironic it was that Bobby got the biggest and best position more than his master John Gray but then again 14 years on his grave was a lot of loyalty... Nice tour.
Wow, so morbid with all of those skulls! A beautiful place though, the architecture is stunning. People’s lives aren’t celebrated now the way they used to be.
I have heard a lot of stories about Greyfriers cemetery, about people being attacked there at night, especially around those enclosures. I am not sure if I would want to visit there at night myself. The monuments were totally awesome! Several of the inscriptions looked fairly legible. Thank you very much GV, for an awesome walking tour. Have a great week ahead 😀
I recall seeing the Greyfriars Bobby movie when I was very young and it was a weepy of note. Its strange to see the graves of Bobby and his master. Such a creepy cemetery though, it just has this otherness about it. However, amazing memorials and very well looked after too. Thanks for the look around.
The detailed stonework in here is magnificent GV. Thank you so much for walking us around and reading out those old dates. Take care, Deb of Oz XXX. P.S. Why do they say Edinborough when it's spelt Edinburgh?
How amazing! I’ll be in Edinburgh next month so I’ll make sure to visit Greyfriars! I’ve seen other online tours, but no one captured the details like you have done here.
This has got to be one of the most famous fascinating places in Edinburgh I've never seen anything like it it's just so full of history and amazement just unbelievably creepy I wonder how many ghosts of the past walk around the graveyard I'm definitely going back as soon as I can 🌹🌹
Wow GV I heard those noises too, your brave, I'd run away, thanks for showing me the best video seems like all yours are awesome,, from Lynda in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I love stories likè Bobby and his master. I'm a dog lover and stories like Bobby keeping vigil for 14 years, never forgetting his master warm my heart.😊
Those sounds were scary. Was the dog buried beside his master ? If not they should have made an exception and allowed it. The dog would have wanted to rest forever by his side. What a sad story .
Greyfriars Bobby the dog was buried close to his much-loved owner John. John Gray joined the Edinburgh Police force as a Night Watchman and took his Skye Terrier, Bobby, with him to keep him company. The Sexton, James Brown, whose grave was next to Bobby's, looked after him after he refused to leave his owner's grave. When the weather was cold or rainy, Bobby slept in a small house near the cemetery and when it was sunny, he slept on the ground near his owner's grave.
That cemetery is so full of artistic works: cherubs, skulls and bones, and sculptures. At timestamp 20:53, is that the back of the figure on the tombstone and is that iong appendage a tail? We humans used to have tails. The symbolism of the art is something we modern day people have to research. I love the realization of these people who lived in the 16th to 18th centuries that we end up as skulls and bones.
Great video. I love this churchyard. Taken the kids to it many times to see Voldemort. Apparently, the carving of the skull at 5:18 or the face at 16:07 inspired JK Rowling's Voldemort character. You can see 'Mort' or 'Mori' above the skull. Don't know how true it is though!
I can’t believe this cemetery has been in use since 1560s. Such a beautiful churchyard. ⛪️
That was absolute magic GV! Always loved the story of Greyfriars Bobby - dogs love you unconditionally with absolute loyalty - more so than some ppl. Thanks as always for taking us along. ❤ Edinburgh.
So was the dog buried with him? Its 12:15am and I m tired and didn't catch it❤
No dog buried separately
Edinburgh is so rich with history - an incredible city. Loved this visit to Greyfriar’s Kirkyard with all the elaborate carvings and imagery on those 17th century tombs. And Babby, of course❤
The monuments are absolutely amazing. There's definitely something "residing" there, with those growls and voices! 😲 Thanks so much, GV!
I’ve heard about the Greyfryers Bobby before, thank you so much for showing him to us, he was a cute little dog. On the mausoleum of George Mckensie, I could hear sounds like growls. That’s sad about John Gray, and his little dog Bobby. ❤
Yes thought i could hear growls or something exciting!
They spent a small fortune back in the day on those monuments. Very unique and beautiful.
That was so loud! How we didn’t hear that standing right next to it, is beyond me. Great capture.

My pleasure!!
Every grave yard is haunted. Some have more activity than others. Excellent video. thank you for today's walk
Hi GV hope you are well great video very interesting I bet it's very spooky at night thanks for sharing take care 👍
Definitely something strange about this cemetery day or night
Remember learning about Bobby as a child in primary school, great to see the monument erected in his memory , thanks again

What are those constant growls? My goodness😂 Great video, some really bizzare monuments showing creepy sculptures
Mckenzie of course 👻
There is a school,at the back of the cemetery, some noise comes from there.
@@jamesbeattie2591 never heard children growl like demons lol
I heard lots of strange voices there but definitely in the Mckenzie vault 👻

Lots of EVP everywhere. It seems that they want to communicate with you. Loved the video. Thank you so much!
Lots of noises! They seem drawn to him for some reason 😮
The stone carvers in Edinburgh must have been unparalleled!
The carvings and details are amazing. You certainly showed us things we haven't seen before.
Bobby and John i never heard of their story so thanks. Very nice tour thanks.
Oh thank you so much for another amazing video. I just cried little Bobby little boy so faithful to the end.😢 can't believe how old this graveyard is. ❤🙏
It's so cool! That guy laying on his side, "having a bit of a nap!"
Felt like I could have done the same lol

I really enjoyed this one GV.

Wow this was a treat! I heard voices alright very spooky I think spirits are attracted to you GV!. Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏
That was a multitude of history and monuments. Very macabre tho!! Great video
