Day 2: Edinburgh

Hard time adjusting to the time zone, not helped by the fact that the sun isn’t setting until about 9:30. Spent all day at the National Library of Scotland.

On the way back to Rutherford House I stopped by Greyfriar’s Kirk. Although it was the site of the signing of the Covenant in 1638, it’s probably best known for the story of Greyfriar’s Bobby. Maybe Disney should do a movie about Covenanters.

Wandered around the church yard and found a monument to some of the minister’s I’ve been studying, thought that was neat. Here’s a shot of the castle from the cemetary.

Noticed that the scaffolding was off the front of St. Giles’ Kirk, looks good.

I was checking out the library here at Rutherford House, was surprised to find an old Cumberland Presbyterian book up there: Doctrine and Genius of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church by A. B. Miller, 1892.
