Day 021:Greyfriars Bobby


Todays image is if Grey Friars Bobby the famous dog that stood at his masters grave for 14 years after his master died.
The reason for todays post was that this morning on Forth One they were discussing that someone had said that Greyfriars Bobby was a fictional character. However as you'll see from the link above he was REAL and used to leave the grave at 1pm each day when the One O'Clock gun went off :)

  1. I think the gunners at the castle also fed Bobby after firing the gun each day. Maybe the reason the faithful little character left his master's grave at that time......

    Heres's a bit of useless trivia. My sister was in the remake of Greyfriar's Bobby. She played a cabbage seller in a market scene and was also in a general crowd scene after the court hearing. She used to do a fair bit of extras work, nothing more famous than that.
