Absolutely brilliant! (Think I'll watch again.) Thank you so much for this. You saved the best til last! I won't be reciting the rhyme quite so eagerly next time I'm in Greyfriars Kirkyard. But you know, Georgie did put an end to the torturing of witches evidently, so he can't be all bad? (Or can he?) 😉 "Bluidy Mackinzie, come oot, come oot if ye daur! Lift the sneck & draw the bair!" Well done and APPLAUSE! 👏
Ahh, Deacon Brodie's Tavern, the first port of call if all goes well at the Sheriffs court! On another note my 8x great grandfather was a covenanter whom "Bluidy McKenzie" actually wrote about and how the family name changed from Muirhead to Stark. Anyway, he fled Scotland to New Hampshire, USA where he resettled and grew his family. His Grandson John Stark became a brigadier general and was known as the "hero of Bennington" (Virginia) during the American revolution, where a statue of him stands to this day.
Absolutely amazing stuff. Thanks so much for sharing. I ended up ocked in that graveyard whilst filming. The dinners across the road looked confused at me, ascending the fence😀
I wonder, have you ever heard of the green lady of the old Royal Mile primary school said to have been murdered by her husband in the school and dumped down the well not far from the school. Many teachers and students speak of an uneasy feeling in a class that used to be held up near the attic where she has made herself known over the years. No doubt the lunacy that is health and safety will not have young students within those areas today. I have had an interest since growing up a door away from a certain reverand Grant known for the greyfriers kirk. While in my end days of the Royal Scots I served some time in the Dalmeny St TA. The very uneasy feeling and reports of haunting by the soldier who lived there were rife. I can whole heartedly confirm that haunting. I can also state a fear of the unknown beneath the ticket station in the waverly. While going to the laundry for my uniform in the early 80s I alwways had a feeling that someone was right behind me. There is an area we had to cross to turn lights on. In that area the walls are tiled with old tiles. The story is that there had been a hikding area for the police which had cells. One night it is said a man hung himself and to this day he haunts the lower floors below the ticket office. To the rear of the ticket officr is the old arch to what at one time had been Stables for the horses. Now having a door which gave access to the lower floor where the cells were. I used to run to the light switch as a 16yr old lad. At times after going through doors to the offices doors would bang slightly when we knew they had already closed
😊😊 wonderful evocative tales of daring escapes bravo❤❤

Amazing! How the forerunners of modern surgery were body snatchers. 😮😢😅
