Page "Edinburgh" Paragraph 68

Another Edinburgh resident in the past, and arguably its most famous, known throughout the world, was Greyfriars Bobby.

The small Skye Terrier reputedly kept vigil over his deceased master's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard for 14 years in the 1870s and 80s, giving rise to a heart-warming story of canine devotion which plays its part in attracting visitors to the city.
