Greyfriars' Bobby Story Greyfriars' Bobby was a Skye terrier that sat at his master's grave daily for fourteen years, from his master's death in 1858. He used to leave the grave only for food, recognising the one o'clock gun his signal to go for his lunch. The one o' clock gun marks its 150th anniversary in 2011. It has been fired from Edinburgh Castle to indicate the time to shipping in the Firth of Forth and others. The gun is fired daily, except on Sundays, Good Friday and Christmas Day. |
