Battlefield tour guide Norry Hughes...

Crimea Bobwho lives in the Crimea has brought out his account of the part the Scots Fusilier Guards played in the Crimean War.

Bob the regiment’s mascot took part in the battles against the Russians and now sits in a glass case in the National War Museum of Scotland at Edinburgh Castle.

The brave dog's story is featured on the Greyfriars Bobby website ‘Dogs from History’ section. Norry’s book ‘A Voice From The Ranks of the Scots Guards’ contains a chapter on  the famous dog and is available from Waterstones bookshops.

The ‘James Ritchie & Son Clockmakers 1809 -2009 ‘ exhibition is continuing to attract a lot of attention at Edinburgh’s Central Library and will be moving to Leith Library next month. As the U.K.'s clocks had to be changed at the weekend, the firm was featured in the Edinburgh 'Evening News'.
