The likely lads
I met these two Scottish lads in Liverpool Street in Islington as they were strutting in a typically dapper terrier fashion.
They are Scottish terriers, also known as Aberdeen terriers or, affectionally, Scotties.
Don't be fooled by their cute looks and minute size - they were bred to catch mice and rats so they are determined, alert and full of energy.
These two Scotties are beautiful examples of their breed - full of beans and inquisitive, with lovely jet black coats.
