The Greyfriars Bobby exhibition
According to local legend the greyhound saved her master from starving to death following his exile to an island on Linlithgow Loch after being found guilty of murder. Every day the loyal greyhound would swim across to the island with food in her mouth to keep the marooned man shackled to a tree alive. Locals from the town are known as Black Bitches and the greyhound is shown on the Royal Burgh’s coat-of-arms. Blue the One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association’s mascot will be firing his cannon at the opening. Photograph by John Lovie. |
The Greyfriars Bobby exhibition will be opened at Linlithgow Library by Michael Connarty MP at 10.30 am on Saturday 27th March.
Like Edinburgh, Linlithgow also has a famous dog.
