Initially 1 of the highland breeds of Terrier that were grouped under the name of Skye Terrier, it is 1 of 5 breeds of terrier that originated in Scotland, the other 4 being the modern Skye, Cairn, Dandie Dinmont and West Highland White Terrier. They are independent and rugged with wiry furry outer coat and soft dense undercoat. They are a small breed of Terrier with a distinctive shape and have had many roles in popular culture. They have been owned by a variety of celebrities, including the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose Scotty "Fala" is included with FDR in his Washington, DC statue.
