Greyfriars Bobby: An Eternal Symbol of Devotion

On Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, a bronze statue immortalizes Skye Terrier Bobby who guarded his master's grave in Greyfriars Kirkyard for fourteen winters (1858-1872). This small monument captures the moment Bobby shakes water from his coat - a daily ritual during his vigil. The loyal terrier's story so touched Victorians that Parliament passed a special dog license to protect him. Today, visitors rub Bobby's nose for luck, polishing the bronze shiny while connecting with this timeless tale of canine fidelity that transcends centuries. #summervacay#travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #myitinerary #citydaytours
