    Bagpiper on Temple Square

    Merry Christmas to one and all.

    During a visit to Temple Square in Salt Lake City with my family, we could hear the sound of the pipes. We followed the sound and there on the corner of Main and South Temple was a fellow dressed as Santa playing the bagpipes. Of course, this laddie was playing Christmas carols to the crowds that had gathered.

    I have a photo of him (kilt and all) but I am not sure I am allowed to post this picture. I think I need the go ahead from the powers-that-be for this board. Let me know if I should or should not post.

    Anyway, if this rings a bell with anyone here, I sure would like to know whom this is.

    UPDATE: I have added the picture to the Photo gallery. If you can't see it, search on "Bagpiper on Temple Square". Enjoy.

    Brad.

    Shouldn't be an issue posting the pic in this particular forum, unless there's questionable material? I don't see how that'd be the case with it being a bagpipe-playing-santa, but I wasn't there so...

    Nice photo. Is that a small heater at his feet?
