First Sunday March 2026

So we were very busy litter picking, bin emptying, fence mending and path clearing today in the Kirkyard. After the clean up we went looking for gravestones which speak about people who went to work in India and the West Indies.

Friends of Greyfriars Kirkyard Edinburgh Path Before
This part of the tarmac in front of the Kirk has been getting very muddy in the winter rains. So we set about clearing up the mud and putting it back on to a flower bed. This is the BEFORE shot.
Friends of Greyfriars Kirkyard Edinburgh Path After
This is the AFTER shot, do you agree it makes quite a difference ? Now the kerb is clear to see, vehicles will hopefully be less likely to drive on to the grass, which pushes soil and mud out on to the tarmac.
