Canongate Kirk is a solemn church ⛪️ I am not sure if I can take pictures in the church. I did not take pictures out of respect for local culture. The overall feeling is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, very good building!

    It is a beautiful church situated a mile from the Royal Palace, reflecting a strange Dutch architecture. The churchyards around the church are easier to visit as churches are not usually open to the public. The tombstones vividly show how Edinburgh people live and die. The most famous people buried here include Adam Smith (philosopher) and Robert Ferguson (poet).

    Very majestic church, there are still many wedding dresses at the door. It is worth a visit for the Chinese because it is full of mystery.

    The Queen's preferred blue church has been busy for a few days on business trips to the UK, and finally has time to go out for a stroll on the weekend. Local friends recommended that the Edinburgh Museum is good. When I went there were a lot of people. I didn't like the place that was too lively. I saw the Canongate Church opposite. I walked over with a casual look, but it brought me an unexpected surprise. The appearance of the church was striking in the distance, and there were two trees in front of it, and there was a whispering that they seemed to have some history, planted by Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. There are also some tombstones in the yard, many inscriptions vividly describe the life of Edinburgh people, and celebrity Adam Smith is buried here. It is not often open to the general public when entering the interior, but I was able to visit on the day I went, and my luck was quite good. The main color of the whole church was blue as soon as I entered it, which surprised me, perhaps I rarely visited the church and saw everything. Above, there was a British flag, and there was a seat marked with the crown of the royal family. I asked others why it was the exclusive seat reserved for the British Queen. There were white fawns on the blue table and a cross on his back. Later, my friend told me that this church is a military church, so it is blue. Warm reminder that no photo location in the church is free to visit opposite the Edinburgh Museum.

    The strange and mysterious Dutch building of Edinburgh is a quite prestigious church in the local area. I followed my teacher to Edinburgh to study and came here to visit after leisure. I was deeply attracted by this church. From the outside, the church is very majestic and solemn, and it is not afraid to hold unclean hearts. Grey is the theme color of the church, and the spire is a unique symbol of Dutch architecture. There are many cemeteries around the church that dare not take pictures, which vividly show how Edinburgh people live and die. There is also a famous philosopher Adam • Mr. Smith and Robert • Poetry Ferguson. The interior of the church is generally not open to the outside world, and this solemn church looks more mysterious. Although my curiosity is heavy, I dare not even take pictures of the history and history of the church. Warm tips outside the church there are many wedding photos of newlyweds, and later checked the information to know that the original wedding photos here are not a few! There are even royal nobles, if there are religious friends can come here to take wedding photos, after all, the church and outside are worth seeing!
