Greyfriars Bobby

In bustling 1858 Edinburgh, a tiny Skye terrier named Bobby navigates the lively chaos of the Grassmarket, a historic square echoing with the daily blast of the time‑gun perched above Castle Rock. From the clamor of merchants to the shadowed arches of George IV Bridge, Bobby’s world is a vivid tapestry of stone‑fronted houses, smoky inns, and the solemn quiet of Greyfriars kirkyard that looms nearby. His keen senses and quick wit keep him one step ahead of the market’s daily rush, while his gentle yelp at the cannon’s roar hints at a deeper, loyal spirit.

Accompanying his owner, the good‑natured farmhand Auld Jock, Bobby discovers the rhythms of city life, from bustling stalls to the hidden alleys where the less fortunate eke out a living. As the market empties each noon, the little dog’s curiosity leads him through narrow wynds and under ancient arches, forging a bond with the people and places that shape his young life. Listeners will be drawn into this richly rendered slice of Victorian Scotland, feeling the cold November wind and the echo of history in every bark.
