When last seen on the Scottie News, Gretna the Scottish Terrier was taking in the Edinburgh festival. This time round, she’s hitting the beach.

The editorial team’s heading off for some malt whiskey. Besides we could never top last year’s Robbie Burns day feature on dogs and men in kilts although the Loch Ness gentleman (above)with his two Scottish Terriers comes pretty close. He just needs a kilt.
Happy Robbie Burns to all our readers and their faithful Scottish companions.
And while we’re at it, Kung Hei Fat Choi to all our Chinese readers.

As we lead up to Robbie Burns Day on Friday, we will have a bit of a Scottish theme going on here at the Scottie Dog News. And we’re beginning with an issue we’ve covered before — discrimination against Scottish Terriers on dog signs like these, found not only in North America but as far away as Finland and Japan where the Scottish Terrier population numbers, perhaps, 15.

Alas, we cannot show you the most egregious example which bans Scottish Terriers from performing a necessary daily function — pooping. You’ll have to go to Flickr to see it for yourself. It’s hardly surprising that the dog poop signs in Scotland take a different approach.
And they’re even more Scottie-friendly in the Highlands where the locals have created special terrier crossings. The Scottish Terrier and Dog News is 100% behind this policy and hopes to see smore positive images of Scottie signage in the coming year.
