Baargain haircut from sheep shearer Morag

-

David wasn't sheepish when his flowing locks reached crisis point.

Unable to get a haircut during lockdown, he asked his friend Morag to tidy up his coiffure. Originally from Lewis, Morag admits she is not a qualified hairdresse­r but has lots of haircuttin­g experience.

She honed her tonsorial skills while shearing sheep, and then graduated to keeping her father’s balding pate in order.

When The Edinburgh Reporter happened to pass by, in Leith, David, who usually pays £60 for a haircut, revealed he had brought pizza and sparkling wine in exchange for Morag's trim. They had already started when we got there, so sadly we have no "before" photo to show you. Thankfully for the rest of us, hairdresse­rs are reopening in the middle of this month.
