Are you ready to fall in love with Edinburgh on this top rated walking tour with a world famous dog by your side? 🐶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There is no better way to get to know Edinburgh than by experiencing this unique walking tour with a professional local guide.

Have you heard the legend of Greyfriars Bobby? Back in the 1800s, this world famous Edinburgh dog sat by his master’s grave for 14 years in an astounding display of loyalty. 🐕🪦

There is no scientific evidence to back this up but we think our dog Rowie could be Greyfriars Bobby’s great, great, great, great, great (with a few more greats) granddaughter! ❤️

At Bobby’s Tours, we blend our incredible history with our own personal recommendations. We believe this is the best way to get to know our magnificent city.

FOR INFORMATION:
