The heart-warming story of Greyfriars Bobby is probably one of Edinburgh's best-known local tales. One of the things 
that makes it so appealing to tourists and locals alike is that it is true.

Bobby was a small Skye Terrier who belonged to one John Gray, an out of work gardener. Unable to make a living in 
his chosen trade, Gray became a policeman. He bought Bobby to accompany him on his rounds as a watch dog - 
hence the dog's name.

Gray came down with tuberculosis and eventually died of the illness in 1858. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

The faithful Bobby was so loyal to its master that he stayed constantly by the grave, refusing to budge in any weather. 
Some stories say that the only time he left was to get food when the one o'clock gun fired. Then he would go to a local 
coffee house that Gray had frequented and they would feed him.

So popular was Bobby with the people of Edinburgh that when a new law was passed requiring all dogs to be licenced 
and collared, the Lord Provost Sir William Chambers paid for Bobby's licence himself.

Bobby kept up his faithful watch until his own death fourteen years later.
