The ‘James Ritchie & Son...
The exhibition will be opened by Sarah Boyack MSP. Sarah will be assisted by Blue Lovie the One o' Clock Gun & Time Ball Association’s mascot who will fire his cannon. The world famous clockmaking firm was founded at the turn of the 19th century and is still in business. James Ritchie and Son is linked with Greyfriars Bobby as the firm was responsible for designing and maintaining the clocks which supplied the time to the One o’ Clock Gun. Full colour postcards of Blue and Colour Sergeant Scott at Greyfriars Bobby's drinking fountain are now available. |
The ‘James Ritchie & Son Clockmakers 1809-2009’ exhibition to mark the firm’s 200th anniversary will open at the Central Library, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh on Saturday 17th October at 10.30 am.
