The most telling part of the Lord Provost's speech was where he said; 'It is of huge importance to this city'. No one can do a 'legend' and keep it going like the Scots and despite this story having been largely debunked in recent years, not least by the revelation that 'Bobby' was at least two dogs, that's no obstacle - and who can blame them - acknowledging this would be like killing the goose that laid the golden egg; akin to admitting the Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist. Bobby has done for Scottish tourism and the economy what Elvis has done in the US. However, I can't help feeling that having schoolchildren solemnly placing a wreath on the dog's memorial as bagpipes wail mournfully nearby and military cadets stand respectfully to attention in the background is all just a wee bit over the top?! Those 150th anniversary celebrations will no doubt currently be in full swing..Long live Bobby!
bobby you are still loved.
Who would have thought over a hundred years ago..people still remember bobby and old jock...
Good old Bobby! You are loved by all 💙✨
