Greyfriars

This evening I was meeting with a delegation from the German Lander of North Rhein Westphalia who were in Edinburgh for a couple of days. They were members of their Children and Families Committee and wanted to meet me as I am the Convener of the Scottish Parliament's Education and Culture Committee.

Before the meeting I stopped at the famous statue of Greyfriars Bobby. Placed there in memory of the Skye terrier who loyally stayed by his master's grave for years after his death.
