The original Greyfriars Bobby, in the book by Eleanor Atkinson, is actually a Skye Terrier. The appearance of a Westie in the title role of the film caused protests from the Skye Terrier breed club, who complained about filmmakers using an incorrect dog breed. Christopher Figg, the producer, said that a Westie was used "because its white coat would stand out in the dark and because its eyes would not be hidden from the camera by a fringe." During the early stages of planning for this film in 2003, Scottish Screen, the national development agency for the Scottish screen industries, had run a lottery worth £500,000, but withdrew the funding for the film, and it was almost made in Luxembourg instead of Scotland. While Bakehouse Close, off the Royal Mile, was used for the exterior shots of John Gray's family home, the Edinburgh Castle scenes in this film were actually shot in Stirling Castle. There was much filming in and around the old town of Stirling as well as within the grounds of Stirling Castle doubling for old Edinburgh and Greyfriars Kirk Yard as seen in the film is in fact Stirling's Old Town Cemetery with the Church of The Holy Rude in the background.

Its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie......I think that this is such an enjoyable childrens movie 2 watch, it is such a really really powerful drama movie 2 watch, it is quite a sad movie in some scenes.......I think that this is such a really well written/acted/directed movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie......I think that this is such a really sweet childrens movie 2 watch, I think that this is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch, with a good cast throughout this movie......
