Tufty Haired Piper

They crowd round the tufty haired piper, who is stood at one of the junctions of Buchanan Street. He has gone for the whole gear, the green tartan kilt, the black jacket and everything. No doubt it earns him more money. Though he is probably on YouTube already, everyone seems to be filming him. The Pakistani kid with his hoodie up, using his mobile phone, his mates tugging on his sleeve, come on! The dumpy tourist woman, holding her digital camera steady, her heavy rain coat protecting her from the drizzle. The business man, suit and rain coat, his brief case in one hand, looks like he just stepped off a train at Queen St Station, and on his way to a connection at Glasgow Central, fumbling with his pocket camcorder, flicking switches as he turns it on. The teenage piper playing one of the old classics all the same.
