Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The statue of Greyfriars Bobby in Edinburgh pays tribute to a loyal little Skye Terrier who guarded his owner's grave for 14 years. Bobby became a local hero, with people feeding and caring for him until his own passing in 1872. Despite some controversy surrounding the true story, Bobby's devotion and legacy live on in the hearts of Scots and visitors alike. And remember, don't touch his nose for luck - he needs it to smell!
