Greyfriars Bobby's grave

People think that touching the nose of the puppy will bring luck, and tourists here will come to touch it, so they will touch the vulture. I also want to be happy, and there was an embarrassing scene. Because I am petite and the bronze statue is built higher, it is really a bit out of reach. Worth a visit!

Similar to the story of the loyal dog Eight. The legs of the puppy statue were all touched and there was a bronze statue of the puppy outside the Greifan Church in Edinburgh city. Built in memory of the loyal dog Bobby! Worth a look.

Bobby is a household name in Scotland, it was originally a stray dog, the vigil John Grey gave it a full meal, Bobby followed John, and John died in 1858, when Bobby was buried, Bobby resolutely did not leave, and has been guarding John's tombstone, very moving story.

we visited as part of a larger trip to see the city and had a nice time wandering around the graveyard, great on a nice day but can be quite uncomfortable if its raining or windy as its on a hill of sorts.

Built in honor of Bobby the dog! It was not as big as I thought it was, but it was a very moving legend, a dog raised by the mid-19th century priest John Gray, who had been guarding his master's grave for more than a decade, and built his grave for him in his master's church. It's worth seeing.

The tomb and legend of Bobby the loyal dog. John Gray, said to be a night police officer in Edinburgh's Old Town, died on February 15, 1858 and was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard (kirkyard=cemetery). He had a dog named Bobby before his life, and John and Bobby were inseparable. After the owner died, Bobby was devastated and stayed at the owner's tombstone for 14 years until his death. The average temperature of the hottest month in Edinburgh was not higher than 15. In winter, it was cold and rainy, with fine snow and strong winds, and the loyal dog never left for a day. Bobby died on February 14, 1872. It was just one day ahead of the day of the sacrifice of its owner. According to the regulations of the time, Bobby could not be buried next to the owner, but he was faithful and the cemetery specially allowed to be buried near the side door of the cemetery where the owner was located. Now, the tomb of the loyal dog is a popular attraction; No one knows where the owner's tomb is. If you want to visit Bobby's tomb, it's near the National Museum of Scotland.
