Bobby developed a friendship with an Edinburgh based soldier called Colour Sergeant Scott, & would follow him to his home at 28 Candlemaker Row. He also trained Bobby to leave Greyfriars Kirkyard at the sound of the one o'clock gun & head to Traill's Coffee House. Bobby left Greyfriars Kirkyard every day when the one o'clock gun fired from the Half Moon Battery of Edinburgh Castle, & went to Traill's Coffee House at 6 Greyfriars Place where he was fed his dinner of a hot meat pie. Colour Sergeant Scott often joined him here.
