There is a statue of Bobby on George IV Bridge in Edinburgh, which is near to the graveyard where old Jock is buried.
Bobby slept faithfully on Old Jock's grave every night for fourteen years, regardless of the weather.
Being a dog, Bobby couldn't be buried in consecrated ground in the Kirkyard. Instead, he is buried under a triangular area of land just inside the Kirkyard gates; a little distance from the grave of Auld Jock.
Although he is first billed, Donald Crisp (James Brown) does not appear until 26 minutes into the film.
The film takes place from 1865 to 1867.
