George Street. We are heading to the 'headquarters' of our church. The missionaries from the Church of Scotland founded our church, The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria in 1846. The missionaries in the likes of Mary Slessor, who stopped the killing of twins and Rev. Hope Masterson Waddell who founded the renowned Hope Waddell Training Institution to mention but a few. Pure, unadulterated Christianity. Taking God's Word to the ends of the earth!

Greyfriars Bobby is a story about a faithful dog who went everywhere with his master. The residents of Edinburgh came to know both of them because they were always together day or night, winter or summer. The master died years later from tuberculosis, but the faithful dog never left his side. He kept watch over his master's grave for 14 years even in the harshest weather conditions. He eventually died at the age of 16 years
