Today is the anniversary of the death of #Greyfriars Bobby, one of #Edinburgh's best-loved stories - a story of devotion and loyalty. This photo was taken in 1868. #dogs #dogsoftwitter

With wintry weather on the way - seems like a good time to look at this beautiful image on Holyrood in the snow! Part of the @NatGalleriesSco collection.

@Scranlife @EdinCulture You could finish off with a hot mug of Bovril - a #Canongate invention created by butcher John Lawson Johnston!

@EdinCulture @Scranlife I think that's *two* Texan Bars... 😉

And some McCowans Highland Toffee...

@Scranlife @EdinCulture @ruthannebaxter @NickGFinnigan Fancy!

[Visit CanonGREAT @VisitCanonGREAT]

@EdinCulture @ruthannebaxter @Scranlife @NickGFinnigan Soor plooms are braw - but are they better than Rhubarb and Custard? 🤔

[Visit CanonGREAT @VisitCanonGREAT]

Oh, how we still miss Caseys! Their chocolates were wonderful! 😢 They made wonderful Easter Eggs and rose and violets creams!

[Ruthanne Baxter @ruthannebaxter]

Instantly thinking floral gums, cherry lips & McGowan’s Highland Toffee bars, but, I’ll have a quarter pound of pear drops please 😋 @Scranlife Not being from #Edinburgh I don’t know Casey’s but I’d imagine others might @VisitCanonGREAT @NickGFinnigan @EdinCulture
