The Scottish Terrier hails from the rocky area of Aberdeen, Scotland, and was bred to hunt foxes and weasels hiding in their burrows. The most well-known  Scotty in America was Fala, the beloved Scottish Terrier owned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nicknamed 'The Diehard' in reference to its rugged character, and familiar to many through the labels of Scotch whisky, the little Scottie remains a fixture of the Terrier Group.
