One of Edinburgh's best-loved stories is the legend of Greyfriars Bobby. It's a story of loyalty and devotion that spans time. The origins of the Skye Terrier are shrouded in mystery. In one version of the story, he was owned by John Gray, an Edinburgh Police Constable, who died in February1858 and was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard. According to legend, Bobby sat devotedly by his grave for 14 years.
