Greyfriar's Bobby, Edinburgh Scotland.










Greyfriars cemetery Edinburgh Scotland is situated in the middle of the old town and is a very popular tourist destination. It is best known for the story of Greyfriar's Bobby, the dog who mourned his master (John Gray, 1858) and was immortalised by a Disney film. The table stones beside the monument are said to have afforded Bobby shelter from harsh weather during the faithful dog's 14 year vigil.
