Stop the bagpipes!
Published by Sophie Archer on Jun 12, 2007
Target: Lothian and Borders Police; Edinburgh City Council
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
Buskers playing the bagpipes on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh are a great
nuisance to people who live and work on or near the Royal Mile. The sound
is incredibly loud and intrusive.
According to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Section 54), it is
unlawful to play a musical instrument in a way which gives any other
person reasonable cause for annoyance.
We respectfully ask the Police and Local Authorities to enforce this law.
