  Popular for centuries, the Skye Terrier, was at one time the favored dog of the royal courts of Scotland and England. Scotland's most famous dog, Greyfriar's Bobby, is said to have been a Skye Terrier. A statue in the dog's memory stands near Greyfriar's Church in Edinburgh, Scotland. Inclined to be snappy when provoked, it is perhaps not ideal for children, but the Skye can be intensely loyal.
