Such a cute and charming little statue! Greyfriars Bobby is one of Edinburgh’s sweetest landmarks, and it’s lovely to see how much affection people still have for the story of the loyal dog. It’s not very big, but it’s full of character and makes for a great photo stop while walking through the city. A must see if you’re exploring Edinburgh, it captures the heart of the city in such a simple, touching way.
