Skye is back...

SkyeSkye is back at her post keeping an eye on the comings and goings in the Grassmarket from her ground floor office window. The West Highland terrier who is registered with the Kennel Club belongs to Elizabeth Edgar the caretaker of the Thomson’s Court sheltered housing complex.

Bobby a West Highland terrier played the part of P.C. Gray’s dog in ‘The Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby’ released in 2005 by Piccadilly Films. Unlike the real Bobby, in the movie the terrier makes his way back to Greyfriars Kirkyard from Dunbar in East Lothian encountering a Highland stag and catching a salmon on the way.

Iain Gray MSP will open the ‘Colour Sergeant Scott & Greyfriars Bobby’ exhibition at Prestonpans, Library, East Lothian on Saturday 24th April at 10.30 am.

The One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association’s mascot Blue will be on parade with his cannon. If you're in the area we'd be glad to see you.
