Candlemaker Row runs from the corner of Forrest Road, outside the National Museum of Scotland, down to the Grassmarket. It travels along the east side of Greyfriars Kirkyard.
Greyfriars Kirkyard, or Graveyard, is the burial ground of Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh. It houses the graves of many notable historical figures including the poet Allan Ramsay, the geologist James Hutton and the architect William Adam. In 1679 several hundred Covenanters were imprisoned in the Kirkyard awaiting trial.
