Greyfriars Kirkyard's rich history makes it a magnet for tourists to Scotland's capital ever keen to be snapped next to the grave of the legendary Greyfriars Bobby and find out more about the place's chequered and sometimes dark past.
scotsman.com reporter Una Purdie visited this Edinburgh landmark to find out more about the main events and characters that have shaped the Kirkyard down the centuries.
In this video, the impact of the plague on the landscape is investigated with the role of the Covenanters also probed.
Una also questions a paranormal expert on whether there could be any substance to the litany of ghostly sightings reported in the Kirkyard.
