Taken this day, 2016, historic Greyfriars Kirk at night https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/31594156170/

No problem with the resident ghosts - they only go after tourists!

@palmoildetectives The poor ghost is probably trying to stop dumb tourists touching the nose of his statue (and damaging it), because of a totally made up story by tour guides!

Is it indeed? I went on a tour and learned of this story when I first arrived and never verified it in future years with friends I just assumed it to be true...haha what about the statue though? all of it fake?

@palmoildetectives tour guides made up the touch Bobby's nose for luck thing, unfortunately now they all do it and have damaged the statue - it eventually wears away bits. They refurbished it a couple of years ago, but the idiots keep doing it so the nose is damaged again already
Meanwhile, ironically, the Greyfriars Bobby pub next to the statue is one of the few pubs in Edinburgh that doesn't allow dogs in!!! So I never go in there anymore.

@palmoildetectives it's a bit like all the nasty ghosts and poltergeists supposedly infesting Greyfriars cemetery - never heard of them until the ghost tour people built up their business! I've taken night photos standing in there on dark, winter nights, never been bothered by any spooks, just drunken students!
