  1. The usual touristsaround the statue of the famously Good Boy, Greyfriars Bobby. Most tourists rub the nose for luck, which damages it, meaning it has to be repaired periodically.

    They think it is a quaint, local tradition, which it isn't, it was made up by idiotic tourists guides and irritates most of the locals! Leave the doggy statue alone!

  3. I found #greyfriarsbobby ! Didn't he used to be on a stone plinth next to the path? (Around the late 80s?) Or am I just remembering it wrong? Maybe he was always in the flower bed! Anyway, here's to the loyalty of dogs 😍🐶🐕 #dogsofmastodon #edinburgh
