Thanks Ham 
Yes that's where he was. I had just had a look round the Geoffrey Taylor shop after returning from the Esplanade where the tourists were waiting to be parted from their cash to get in the Castle - it used to be free, apart from if you wanted to go in the museums!
I also looked at the other Taylor shop they have near the house of J*** K**x (not my favourite character lol) as I was hoping to see the 21st Century Kilts section, but it was locked. 
In the old days I never had a problem getting near the Bobby statue and I didn't on this occasion either even though it was a Saturday. For the first time ever I went into the kirkyard and saw his grave, strewn with fresh flowers, there were no flowers on that of his master John Gray ("Auld Jock"). It was very moving somehow, probably bringing the book by Eleanor Atkinson and the Disney movie back to mind.
Bobby's grave:
