An Edinburgh busker says he was 'bullied' by a local group after performing in the city, hoping to make a bit of extra cash.
Stephen Lafferty, who works part time as a cleaner, performs around the city in the early evenings though says he's always sure to stick to Edinburgh Council's 9pm curfew. On April 21, he was busking in the Grassmarket when members of a local group approached him.
He says they 'marched with anger' towards him, before 'hurling abuse'. Stephen works as a domestic cleaner for those with additional support needs, and says if he wasn't doing busking every so often he'd require a foodbank.
