Hola Jesús,
Preciosa serie de fotografías de tu paseo por Edimburgo.
Disfruté tus fotos.

Debe ser hasta agradable darse un paseo por ese cementerio, en un entorno tan verde. Buen reportaje, Jesús.
Un abrazo.
Buenas imágenes de ese gran cementario, bien adornado por esos jardines de flores.

Old cemeteries have an interesting atmosphere with old pattern fences and charming headstones.
A wonderful series about this place!
A hug.

Un paseo con mucho misterio, como otros lugares de Edimburgo. Yo también he paseado por ese cementerio.

The cemetery looks scary. But artistic at the same time

Beautiful showing Jesús, you didn't mention Greyfriars Bobby.
The best-known version of the story is that Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a nightwatchman. When John Gray died he was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the kirkyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby then became known locally, spending the rest of his life sitting on his master's grave.
In 1867 the lord provost of Edinburgh, Sir William Chambers, who was also a director of the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, paid for Bobby's licence and gave the dog a collar, now in the Museum of Edinburgh.[3][4]
Bobby is said to have sat by the grave for 14 years. He died in 1872 and a necropsy by Prof Thomas Walley of the Edinburgh Veterinary College concluded he had died from cancer of the jaw.
He was buried just inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirkyard, not far from John Gray's grave.
A year later, the English philanthropist Lady Burdett-Coutts was charmed by the story and had a drinking fountain topped with Bobby's statue (commissioned from the sculptor William Brodie) erected at the junction of George IV Bridge and Candlemaker Row (opposite the entrance to the churchyard) to commemorate him.
Increíbles fotos y hermosos colores. Saludos
Buenos jardines de flores tiene.
Un abrazo.
Se ve precioso, me gusta mucho. Besos.
