The n.c.o. knew the dog as he lived in the stair on
the right hand side leading to the gate of Greyfriars
Kirk. Although there's no evidence that the dog
followed him to the Castle, its possible that he took
it with him.
The Scotsman reported that the dog would usually turn
back at the end of George IV Bridge. The dog is
connected to the gun as he would go for his dinner
when the gun fired. This is on record. |
