The unveiling of the plaque...
The ceremony will take place at one o’clock outside 6 Brunton Place (London Road), Edinburgh where the clockmaker lived for forty years. The clockmaker would have known about Greyfriars Bobby as his uncle Robert Ritchie who lived at 28 Candlemaker Row fed and sheltered the terrier. After the plaque is unveiled by Edward McCarthy who used to fire the One o' Clock Gun, the One o' Clock Gun & Time Ball Association’s piper Pipe Major Anderson will play and the Association’s mascot Blue will fire his gun. We’ll be glad to see you on Monday if you can spare the time to come along. 105 Regt. T.A. (V.) will fire a salute from Edinburgh Castle at midday on Wednesday 2nd June to commemorate the anniversary of the coronation of H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth. |
The unveiling of the plaque to commemorate Frederick James Ritchie who designed the clock which fired the One o’ Clock Gun takes place on Monday 7th June.
