The Michelin Guide's review
Canongate Kirk was built in 1688 for the congregation that King James VII moved from Holyroodhouse Abbey. Above the Flamboyant south façade, note the stag's head bearing a cross, a reminder of the legend of the founding of Holyrood Abbey. In the cemetery there are a few funerary monuments of prominent figures, such as Adam Smith.
