Thanks to the good weather...

Thanks to the good weather, the opening of the ‘Colour Sergeant Scott & Greyfriars Bobby’ exhibition at Linlithgow Library last Saturday was a great success.

Michael Connarty MP who opened the exhibition is not only a historian, but a fan of Eleanor Atkinson’s best selling novel featuring the world famous dog.

The One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association’s Chairman Brian McKenzie and Blue accompanied by Pipe Major Anderson announced the opening of the exhibition to the Royal Burgh’s residents, by marching from the Kirkgate to the Library to the sound of the pipes.

Among the guests at the reception were local residents Mr and Mrs Colquhoun who brought along copy of the souvenir programme issued for the premiere of Walt Disney’s ‘Greyfriars Bobby’ held in the Caley Picture House, Lothian Road, Edinburgh in 1961.

The photograph of Blue showing Michael Connarty how to fire a cannon was taken by John Lovie. The exhibition can be seen at Linlithgow Library until April 17th before moving to Prestonpans Library, East Lothian for a four week run.
