Shoppers were left stunned after spotting a man walking two well-trained sheep on leashes down a busy Glasgow street. The animals were seen strolling along Buchanan Street on Saturday afternoon by a man wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a long walking stick.
Images of the strange sight were shared with Glasgow Live by reader James Ormiston, who said the group 'got plenty of attention'. He said: "While in Glasgow yesterday, I came across an unusual sight. It was a chap walking sheep; not dogs, but sheep on leashes.
"He certainly got plenty of attention as walked up Buchanan street while stopping to chat with passers by. I've no idea if it was a stunt or what but it made me smile."
Photos show the man, wearing a jumper, jeans, walking boots and a cowboy hat while carrying a wooden staff. Attached to the leash are two sheep; one with a red collar and the other wearing a blue collar.
The trio stick out like sore thumbs heading from the bottom of Buchanan Street, where it meets Argyle Street, up past stores such as House of Fraser and Zara.
One tracksuit-clad local is seen smiling in one of the images, catching the sight out of the corner of her eye. In another snap a group of three young boys are seen laughing at the animals, with one getting his phone out to catch a quick photo.
One woman is seen chatting to the man while, behind the sheep, one man is positioning his phone to take a picture while another shopper wearing a pink jacket can't quite believe what she is witnessing.
The man from the second photo plucks up the courage to approach the sheep in the third image, making space for another local who also takes out her phone to capture the moment. Meanwhile a woman with short, purple hair delights in the sight, pointing and laughing at the adorable, farmyard animals.
