Greyfriars Bobby. by gamelee

Greyfriars Bobby.

Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction.

Is that in the graveyard Lee? It's obviously a different one from the statue in the street. I must check it out. Lovely capture.

@jamibann It is in the grave yard, very close to the headstone of John Gray.
