FDR owned a Scottie named Fala, who is immortalized in bronze next to the statue of the president at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial on the National Mall in Washington. "On July 20, 1941, the newspapers printed a picture of him riding in a limousine sitting next to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was inauguration day and President Roosevelt was on his way to the White House where he was sworn in as our 32nd President." http://eric.indiana.edu/www/famres/pctogeth/ish01/scotties.html Aug 29 03, 4:28 AM

I've found sites that say Queen Victoria had a Scottish Terrier, such as this one http://www.weedogs.com/scotties.htm but also found a site that says she kept Skye Terriers The Skye Terrier Fortunately there is no similar claim made for the long-haired short-legged terrier, known to show goers as the Skye Terrier. These dogs of the Western Isles would seem to have been kept in general by the lairds and their families and were probably described by Dr. Caius in the sixteenth century as dogs "which by reason of the length of their heare make show neither of face nor of body." They were admired by Queen Victoria who always had specimens of the breed from 1842 onwards. It would seem that the only similarity to the Scottish Terrier was that they have both been known as the Skye Terrier. http://stcinc.tripod.com/learn.htm Aug 29 03, 4:42 AM
