Greyfriars Bobby's Bar - Edinburgh City of Literature

Greyfriars Bobby’s Bar sits at the top of Candlemaker Row, just in front of Greyfriar’s Graveyard, Edinburgh’s notorious spooky (and literary) hotspot.

Situated cheek by furry jowl with one of the city’s best loved hairy folk heroes, the statue of Greyfriars Bobby, the pub is a perfect place to relax with live music, real ale, and good beer.

The pub is popular with tourists but is also a regular hangout for some of Edinburgh’s ghost tour guides.

Greyfriars Bobby (May 4, 1855 – January 14, 1872) was a Skye Terrier which became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of its owner until he died himself on 14 January 1872.

The accuracy of stories of Greyfriars Bobby has been challenged many times: for instance, in books by Forbes Macgregor Greyfriars Bobby: The Real Story at Last,[5] by Jan Bondeson Greyfriars Bobby: The Most Faithful Dog in the World.

[6] and by Richard Brassey in "Greyfriars Bobby The Most Famous Dog in Scotland".

In a newspaper article in The Scotsman, "Greyfriars Bobby A Dog's Devotion" (11 August 1934), Councillor Wilson McLaren responds to contemporary questions about the accuracy of the stories by describing his own conversation, in 1871, with "Mr Traill" of "Traill's Coffee House" in relation to the dog he himself was then feeding, reassuring readers about the story Mr Traill had given him, and describing responses in 1889 to questions about the story's accuracy.

The Greyfriars Bobby Fountain in Edinburgh includes a life-size statue of Greyfriars Bobby created by William Brodie in 1872.
