Greyfriars Bobby has a very shiny nose – Tram testing to begin on Tuesday – Haddowfest – People’s Health Trust offering funding – Tonight at the Cameo
It is reported that the Greyfriars Bobby statue has a shiny nose again, just days after the council spent £500 having the statue revived and the nose blackened. The BBC say that only 48 hours after the works carried out the other day tourists have been rubbing his nose and the black has come off already. Back to the drawing board no doubt!
