On this day in 1872: Greyfriars Bobby died. A special wee dug. The story is that Skye Terrier Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman. When Gray died in 1858 he was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby became well-known locally, because he spent the rest of his life (14 years!) sitting on his master's grave. . . . . #greyfriarsbobby #greyfriarsbobbystatue #edinburgh #otd #onthisday #scottish #beingscottish

Happy 80th birthday to Rod Stewart. Although he admits he is not Scottish, he is fiercely proud of his Scottish dad. His single 'Ole Ola', recorded with the 1978 Scotland World Cup squad, reached no 4 in the charts. He is pictured here in Spain during the 1982 World Cup. I don't advise dressing like this in Scotland just now ❄️. . . . . #rodstewart #80thbirthday #onthisday #otd #beingscottish

Happy 38th birthday to singer Paolo Nutini who was born on this day in Paisley in 1987. I'm sure if wee Davie's flight hadn't been delayed, he'd still have been a huge star 🙌. . . . . #paolonutini #happybirthday #otd #onthisday #paisley #scottish #beingscottish

On this day in 1451: The University of Glasgow was founded. It is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world behind Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews. In 1870 the University moved, from High Street in the city centre, to sit by the River Kelvin. This incredible building still dominates Glasgow's West End skyline. It's also the only uni with it's own accent 🤪 . . . . . #glasgowuni #universityofglasgow #glasgowuniversity #kelvingrovepark #glasgowsunset #glasgow #scottish #beingscottish
