1638: National Covenant inaugurated
The National Covenant, signed by many Scots and officially inaugurated in the Greyfriars' churchyard, Edinburgh, denounced the attempts by Charles I to force the Scottish church to conform to English practices, at the same time urging loyalty to the king.
This is a beautiful old Kirkyard and well worth a visit by everyone..
Not only does it have beautiful tombs of some of the rich and famous of the town, it is also steeped in History, Legends and Ghosts, dating back as early as the 16th Century.
There are various tours on offer in the Capital. Do you have the nerve to visit Greyfriars at night?
Now go to the Covenaters page, and Read and see what happened to my friend Sandra and I when we went into the Kirkyard to take some photos for this website.
And we went in the Daytime.
