The picture above is of the famous Greyfriars Bobby Statue. The Statue was made by William Brodie.
If you visit please don't pet or rub the Bobby statue for luck because it is ruining the statue. You can see the discoloration.
The story behind the dog is that he spent 14 years guarding the grave of his owner John Gray. John Gray died in 1858 . The good people of Edinburgh gave the dog food and water regularly. Poor faithful Bobby dog died on January 14, 1872 at his owner's grave. Quite the story.

Below the cut is a template email to send to Edinburgh Pride regarding sponsorship from Aegon, who have investments linked to the genocide in Palestine. Please feel free to use this text or edit it and make it your own and send it to [email protected]
Dear Edinburgh Pride,
As a queer person living in Edinburgh, I was deeply saddened to learn that the march partner for Edinburgh Pride 2024 is Aegon.
In December 2023 the ‘Don’t Buy Into Occupation Coalition’ published a report that showed Aegon have US$564million invested via shares and bonds in companies operating in illegal settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territories. Source: https://dontbuyintooccupation.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2023_DBIO-III-Report_11-December-2023.pdf
We are watching a live-streamed genocide every day - over 36,000 people in Palestine have been murdered by Israeli forces, including at least 15,000 children. The brutality of these atrocities are unthinkable, with evidence of torture and targeting of hospitals, ambulances and refugee camps.
We all have a responsibility to do what we can to end this genocide. As queer people, we are part of a rich history of resisting oppression and dehumanisation - of both ourselves and those we stand in solidarity with. Pride started as a protest against homophobia, transphobia and police violence. It is an important moment to come together as a community to celebrate queer joy and resilience.
But how can we celebrate using profits stained with the blood of our siblings in Palestine?
Aegon has $564million invested in companies that have been listed by the UN as “raising human rights concerns” for their operations in illegal settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territories, In 1948, 750,000 Palestinian people were displaced from their homes and lands and since then, Israeli settlements have been used to spread this process of colonisation.
In addition to this figure, Aegon also has major investments in Eaton Corp Plc., who supply parts for helicopters and fighter jets to the Israeli military and have recently been the target of major protests at their factory in Dorset. They also invest in Amazon, who support the Israeli military with surveillance technology used against Palestians.
Israel has long used ‘pinkwashing’ as a tactic to justify the brutal repression of Palestinians, using queer people to legitimise this horrific violence. We refuse to allow this to be done in our name.
The tide is turning on companies like Aegon that profit from investments in the companies complicit in genocide. Recently, both Hay and Edinburgh Book Festival have dropped Baillie Gifford as a sponsor after over 800 authors called on them to divest from companies involved in Israel and the fossil fuel industry.
I ask that Edinburgh Pride:
Calls on Aegon to commit to divest from companies involved in supplying technology to Israel and operating in illegal settlements.
Drop Aegon as a sponsor until they are able to show evidence of divestment.
Publicly call for a ceasefire and a free Palestine.
There is no pride in genocide.
I look forward to hearing your response.

The Greyfriars Cemetery has a sign shown in the first picture of a lot of historical figures that are buried here. You might find it interesting, I did.
The picture with all the flowers is the grave of Greyfriars Bobby ( May 4,1855 – January 14,1872) A very famous dog in Scotland. Bobby in Scottish means police officer. Bobby's owner John Gray, also known as Auld Jock was a night watchman for the Edinburgh Police Force. A cute name "Bobby" he gave his Skye Terrier. I haven't seen it but I guess Disney made a movie about him. I guess I will have to see that someday.
We found Thomas Riddell's gravestone. It seems to be something that tourists enjoy doing, especially if they are Harry Potter fans.
A couple quotes by J. K. Rowling
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that."
Death comes for us all in the end."
