Greyfriars graveyard in Edinburgh is home to some of the most beautiful graveyards I've ever seen. But not only are they beautiful, the composition of them around the graveyard is mesmerizing. The graves are hung on the walls of the church and the perimeters of the graveyard like paintings in a gallery.
The beauty of each individual grave is fascinating. These date back centuries as so are worn with age, creating pieces of art. Great numbers of them look as though they have been stained with ink, varnish or coffee, and have partly crumbled with age.
The texture is also brilliant in some, with weeds and grass growing from within them. As the graves have aged layers beneath have become visible. The colours and depth to these is like art work, that should be hung in a gallery.
