Edinburgh and Greyfriar's Bobby


Greyfriar's Bobby



The statue of Greyfriars Bobby is in memory of the little dog that returned to its master’s grave every single day for 14 years. The little Skye terriers master died in 1857 and the loyal dog returned to visit and sit at his grave side until Bobby past away.

Greyfriars Bobby has since appeared in books and even Walt Disney have made a film following the Skye terriers story and love of its master.

Bobby’s Bar - that is next to the statue Greyfriars Bobby is planning to get enough material together to create an exhibition dedicated to Greyfriars Bobby and its master.
More will be revealed when Bobby’s bar has enough material.

If you are looking for accommodation when visiting Greyfiars Bobby - or Bobby's Bar there is plenty of Edinburgh hotels offering a wide range of accommodation that will suit most needs.
