About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Edinburgh centers on a small leather collar and a chipped ceramic dish in a display case, and the story behind them: Greyfriars Bobby, a Skye terrier who refused to leave his owner John Gray's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard after 1858. It follows the city bylaw that threatened him, the Lord Provost who stepped in to save him, and the coffee house owner nearby who fed him from that same dish each day.
