Greyfriars Bobby was honoured with a major ceremonial event overseen by the Edinburgh’s Lord Provost almost 150 years after a predecessor stepped in to rescue his life.
The event in Greyfriars Kirkyard was being staged to mark 140 years after a statue was erected in Bobby’s honour.
And the event coincided with the publication of a new “Greyfriars Bobby Trail” highlighting the dog’s favourite haunts around the Old Town, as well as a new exhibition at the city’s central library.
Left: good dog: Ruby, a female hound from the Edinburgh Cats and Dogs Home, stands in for Bobby.
