    I absolutely loved this, I think it was released in 1994. Billy probably isn’t long for this world, but he has brought such joy to literally millions of people. He is an utter genius and we need to cherish him. Thank you for everything Billy.

    My favourite series when I lived in Scotland in the mid 90s 😃👍
    I really loved to learn about Scotland and the Scottish people that way and even could rehearse understanding the glaswegian accent 😊
    Thanks to Billy for that opportunity!
    Only made it to Mary King's Close 20 years later... still a very special place. - And then there were loads of dolls... Quite creepy... 😱😁

    Oh my...now I'm really homesick for the old place...lived just around the corner from St. Stephen's church there. Did the touristy thing with a friend once, Mary King's, felt somebody brushing my neck down there, thing was I was standing right at the back leaning against a wall. Scared the bejaysus outta me. Spent many a night at the World's End, although the memories are quite fuzzy now. I wonder why...

      Yes, you’d have thought Bobby would have made the edit. Surely they filmed something and perhaps didn’t include it? Love the statue that is also a water bowl for any passing dogs - and the pub ‘The Greyfriars Bobby’ is a lovely watering hole.
