John Inglis Traill 1835-1897
When he took over the small restaurant at 6 Greyfriars Place in 1862, Bobbie was already a regular visitor to the establishment. Although John Traill continued to feed Bobby he refused to pay for the terrier's licence as he reckoned that as the dog refused to attach himself to any one person it was impossible to establish ownership. When the restaurant owner died at his home at 18 Keir Street in 1897 he was buried in Newington Cemetery on the south side of Edinburgh. |
John Inglis Traill was born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland in 1835. He served his apprenticeship as a tailor.
