Tourists from all over the world...
The sight of the small dog must have brought back memories to Colour Sergeant Scott who had stayed on in Edinburgh after leaving the Army of the days when he lodged at no. 28 Candlemaker Row as he passed Bobby’s statue, especially when he heard the One o’ Clock Gun firing from the Castle. Donald would have been able to drink from the metal cup attached to the fountain by a chain as it was not removed until 1957 due to health regulations. Sculptor William Brodie’s statue is a faithful likeness of the world famous dog as can be seen from photographs of the Skye terrier. |
Tourists from all over the world continue to flock to Edinburgh to visit Greyfriars Bobby’s memorial stone and drinking fountain. When Bobby’s statue was unveiled in 1873 it was done without pomp or ceremony.
