Greyfriars Church
On the edge of Old Town, Greyfriars Kirkyard is Edinburgh’s most famous cemetery for several reasons including the famous names buried here. Many of the headstones inspired characters in the Harry Potter series, attracting fans from all over, these included Tom Riddle and William McGonagall, a famously bad poet. It’s also thought to be haunted by the ghost of a particularly nasty George Mackenzie, and you can take terrifying tours of the burial vault.
