Hairy Maclary Streetscene

We went up to town to visit the newly reopened National Museum of Scotland (very impressive) and I had expected to be featuring a blip from there but we were distracted by this photocall at the statue of Greyfriars Bobby across the road.

Hairy Maclarywas a very popular figure in our house a few years ago and as we stood there all the character names came back;


"Schnitzel von Krumm
with a very low tum,
Bitzer Maloney
all skinny and bony,
Muffin McClay
like a bundle of hay,
Bottomley Potts
covered in spots,
Hercules Morse
as big as a horse

and Hairy Maclary
from Donaldson's Dairy"
