There were so many onlookers at a piper’s performance on Sheringham seafront, the town almost deserves its own tartan. 

George Sinclair, who is from Glasgow but now lives near Oxford, donned his kilt, sporran and feather bonnet to play his bagpipes at Sheringham Lifeboat Station on Wednesday.

Mr Sinclair walked through the station playing Scotland The Brave before continuing at the top of the nearby slipway.

More than 200 people watched on, and more than £400 was raised for the RNLI through a charity collection and sales in the lifeboat shop.

Organiser and RNLI Sheringham Lifeboat crew helmsman Chris Taylor said: “This was a unique evening for fans of bagpipes young and old.  

“It’s unusual to hear bagpipes in Norfolk and the backdrop of our wonderful coastline made it all the more special.

“Huge thanks to everyone that came along and gave so generously with special thanks to George for supporting the RNLI.”

Mr Taylor said Mr Sinclair was his neighbour’s brother, and sometimes practiced in the garden when staying in Sheringham. 

He said: “A few months ago we heard him in the garden and over the fence I suggested filming him playing on the cliffs at Sheringham.”
