Edinburgh tourists confused by 'strange gathering' at Greyfriars Bobby

A bizarre video shows a very different selection of events happening at the Greyfriars Bobby statue in Edinburgh.

The video was posted to video share platform TikTok and originally shows an enthusiastic bagpiper with an LGBTQ+ pride flag wrapped around himself and his bagpipes, which isn't too out of place on the street.

Piping away on the busy street a neon sign behind him of the Casserole Wang Chinese restaurant flashes behind him.

Panning down the street to the Greyfriars Bobby statue the video shows what appears to be a terrier dog meet up as a group of dogs and owners huddle around the famous landmark.

The two events happening simultaneously make very peculiar viewing for those passing by, with people looking around puzzled by the display.

A taxi can be seen passing by and honking its horn at the sight making those behind the camera laugh.

Titled “scottish terrier and gay bagpipe function outside casserole wang” highlighting the strange viewing, the video has gone viral on TikTok gaining 17.7 thousand views.

Some commenters found the video hilarious, one said: “oh edinburgh, never change”

Another wrote: “This had me crying” with a laughing emoji.
