Title
Jock Laurie - street musician
Description
A man kneels on an Edinburgh street whilst playing the accordion.

The poet, Donald Campbell has written a poem inspired by this character by Holt:

Jock Laurie

At the midnight bell
Jock Laurie starts to sing and play
At the midnight bell
his music casts a magic spell.
It's another happy Hogmanay
by the Tron on New Year's Day
at the midnight bell.
