Greyfriars Bobby

The (canine) title character working for Walt Disney presumably on the Shepperton Studios lot outside London, encounters a constable (Duncan Macrae), the innkeeper Traill (Laurence Naismith) who knows him, then his master Jock (Alex Mackenzie), the newly-unemployed shepherd he’s followed from the country, in Greyfriars Bobby, 1961.

Opening narration from Walt Disney Pictures, with luxurious shooting in the Lammermuir hills near Edinburgh, where the true underlying story took place, introducing Alex Mackenzie as Jock, Gordon Jackson and Jennifer Nevinson as a farmer and daughter, in Greyfriars Bobby, 1961, starring Donald Crisp.

Skirting the funeral of his beloved master, the title character makes his way to what appears to be the real Greyfriars Churchyard, where we meet top-billed Donald Crisp, well into the third reel, in Walt Disney’s Greyfriars Bobby, 1961, shot largely on location in and around Edinburgh, Scotland.
