Description

Bobby, a young Skye terrier, is startled by the time-gun's boom from Edinburgh Castle. He has heard it many times before, but the loud report is still enough to make him yelp in protest. However, the gun's familiar sound is always followed by a happy event, and Bobby's mind begins to associate it with pleasant memories.

On a typical day, Bobby accompanies Auld Jock, a farm laborer, to the weekly market in the Grassmarket of Edinburgh. The narrow valley at the southern base of Castle Crag provides a unique setting for the city's daily life. As Bobby navigates this environment, he is reminded of the time-gun's significance.

This heartwarming story explores the bond between Bobby and the people around him, highlighting the importance of loyalty and companionship in everyday life.
