World Animal Day Walk

The Association’s walk to mark World Animal Day was a success as the weather turned out to be bright and sunny.

The walkers and their pets left Bum’s statue bang on time escorted by Sergeant Hewitt of the Lothians & Border Police, his officers and three motor cyclists.

The procession led by Sarah Boyack MSP, Brian McKenzie and Blue accompanied by our piper Pipe Major Anderson marched through the Grassmarket at a cracking pace reaching Greyfriars Kirkyard in record time.

Sarah said a few words at Bobby’s memorial stone and photographs were taken by the tourists and press.

The Association would like to thank Morag Stevenson of the City of Edinburgh Council events department, the Parks department and the Lothians & Border Police for their help and guidance in arranging the event.

A meeting has already been held to plan next year’s World Animal Day walk.
