Edinburgh Photo Library
- Greyfriar's Bobby
The story of Bobby, the Skye terrier which refused to leave his master's grave in historic Greyfriar's churchyard, came to prominence in the 1890s when Eleanor Atkinson, an American, wrote a book about the dog which became a first reading book for a generation of many Americans.
The life-size sculpture of Bobby was erected on a drinking fountain at Greyfriar's churchyard and must be the most photographed dog in Edinburgh.See also Did You Know? - Greyfriar's Bobby and Places to Visit - Greyfriar's Churchyard for more information.
