Waymark an Edinburgh dog request.

[+Ianatlarge]

Let me explain. I spoke to some guys in the "Time Ball and Cannon Association" (based in Edinburgh) about info for the forthcoming category "Time Signals". I explained to these chaps what Waymarking was, and they then asked if someone from our community could waymark this famous dog statue in Edinburgh.

Apparently, it is a statue of a dog that waited at the gravesite of its deceased master for years—or was a 19th century publicity stunt. Either way there is a statue of a dog on a plinth, with a website to his name.

 

If anyone finds them-self in the "Athens of the North" please take a look.

Oh wow, I heard about Greyfriars Bobby all while growing up. As a child, my dad loved those books! This reminds me... has anyone waymarked the Hachi statues? Wikipedia even provides coordinates for one of them.
