Cathie McLeod, secretary of the club, said: “The Scottish branch of the Skye Terrier Club felt that getting people and their dogs together for a visit was a great way to celebrate the most famous Skye Terrier in the world.”

The Evening News told recently how the Skye Terrier was now considered a vulnerable breed and is at risk of dying out, with yearly registration figures of less than 300 puppies.
