Greyfriars Bobby Statue

This guide to the Greyfriars Bobby statue follows the tale kept alive for years by James Brown, keeper of Greyfriars Kirkyard: a Skye terrier who supposedly slept on his master's grave for fourteen years, roused each day by the One o'Clock Gun. You'll hear how the dates around the gun and a nearby restaurant don't line up with the story, and what a historian noticed comparing photographs of the dog taken years apart. Look for the bronze nose worn bright by generations of hopeful hands.
