Just a few days to go

Just a few days to go to World Animal Day. Although the First Minister is unable to take part, the Rt Hon Alex Salmond has sent the One o’Clock Gun & Time Ball Association his best wishes for the event.

It’s appropriate that the walk should proceed through the Grassmarket as in addition to the livestock markets held in the area, Wombwell’s Menagerie came up from England during the festive season so Bobby must have seen lions and tigers as he trotted past the cages.

Norma Lynn Devlin of the Beehive Restaurant who has a first hand knowledge of the rules and regulations needed to put on an event is helping us to liase with the shops and pubic houses on the route.

Hoping to see you and your pet at half past one on Sunday 4th October at Bum’s statue.
