Greyfriars Bobby Fountain, the fountain includes a life-size statue of Greyfriars Bobby created by William Brodie in 1872, financed by Baroness Burdett-Coutts of the Coutts banking family. The monument is Edinburgh's smallest listed structure.

In 1867 a new bye-law was passed that required all dogs to be licensed in the city or they would be destroyed. Sir William Chambers (The Lord Provost of Edinburgh) decided to pay Bobby’s licence and presented him with a collar with a brass inscription “Greyfriars Bobby from the Lord Provost 1867 licensed”. This can be seen at the Museum of Edinburgh. Though Queen Victoria made these terriers fashionable and they turn up in pictures by Sir Edwin Landseer (painter of The Monarch of the Kennel, etc), they seem to have been replaced by other fashionable dogs these days.

According to a book published in 2022, [21] Bobby was more likely to have been a dandie dinmont terrier than a Skye terrier as is generally supposed. The claim was made by Mike Macbeth, president of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of Canada. Macbeth pointed out that the dandie dinmont terrier was extremely popular in Scotland at the time, with some 60 breeders in the Edinburgh area, whereas skye terriers tended to be confined to the Isle of Skye. [22] Memorials [ edit ] Bobby's headstone in Greyfriars Kirkyard Macbeth and Keevil, who spent the past two years researching their book on the history and social influence of the dandie dinmont terrier, said that early newspaper articles and sightings never suggested Bobby was a skye terrier. He was almost always referred to as a “Scotch terrier”, a term used colloquially to describe the dandie dinmont. A common discussion is over which of two people named John Gray was the real owner of Bobby (one being a night watchman and the other a farmer). [4] In Councillor McLaren's account, Mr Traill in 1871 had spoken about John Gray the farmer. [19] Greyfriars Bobby (4 May 1855 – 14 January 1872) was a Skye Terrier or Dandie Dinmont Terrier [1] who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction. The narration of Greyfriars Bobby is most unusual. The book is written from the point of view of the dog, which makes every-day events very strange. The main story of the book is directly adapted from the supposedly true Scottish story of Greyfriars Bobby.Bobby was also buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, just seventy five yards away from his masters grave. He has his very own red granite headstone, which was unveiled by His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester CCVO, in 1981. Kayaknya ini pertama kalinya aku kasih rating 5 buat novel klasik yang emang bener-bener klasik, karena aku suka banget dengan bagaimana cerita ini bergulir. Memang sih dari awal kita bisa merasakan nuansa suram dari novel ini bahkan sampai lembar terakhirnya. In her book, Atkinson reveals an ear for creating ersatz Scots dialogue, or at least how her readership imagined Scots spoke. a b Khan, Aina J (24 July 2022).

Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson | Goodreads

In 1850 a gardener called John Gray, together with his wife Jess and son John, arrived in Edinburgh. Unable to find work as a gardener he avoided the workhouse by joining the Edinburgh Police Force as a night watchman. Berapa kali saya dibuat menangis oleh sebuah buku, lumayan sering terjadi. Sebab saya termasuk cengeng, gampang nangis. Terakhir, selain buku The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, saat membaca bagian menjelang akhir hayat Ibu Sudalmiyah Rais dalam Menapak Jejak Amien Rais, saya begitu terharu dan berpikir alangkah kecil dan tidak berartinya hidup kita ini, bahkan bisa dibilang percuma, jika karunia hidup yang diberikan Allah SWT dijalani tanpa mengingat-Nya ataupun memberi kebaikan dan manfaat bagi banyak orang. Dan... berapa kali saya dibuat menangis oleh buku tentang Bobby si anjing terrier kecil di pemakaman Greyfriars ini? Berkali-kali. 5? 6? 10? Entah. Padahal saat pertama kali tenggorokan saya terasa sesak, hidung mulai mampet, dan mata terasa panas, buku ini belum sampai pada seperempat bagian awalnya. There are 46 of these cemetery dogs upon record, the majority of them having been at large in Victorian times, from France, England, Sweden and the United States. None of the great cemeteries in Paris was complete without a mourning dog, and London had two ‘Greyfriars Bobbys’, at St Bride’s cemetery, Fleet Street, and St Olave’s cemetery, Southwark. There were cemetery dogs in Lee [East London], Liverpool, Newcastle, Dublin and Belfast. In several instances, it was discovered that the cemetery dog had nothing whatsoever to do with the person it was presumed to be mourning.
