ScotRail staff were stunned after a man was captured on CCTV walking his sheep down the platform at busy Paisley Gilmour Street station.
A man has been captured on CCTV walking his sheep at Paisley Gilmour Street Station.
ScotRail staff and passengers have been left bewildered after the station’s CCTV caught the scene and shared it to social media.
Posting the picture on X, a man is seen wearing a blue t-shirt and a hat casually walking down one of the platforms with the sheep on a close lead, reports Glasgow Live.
In the background, a man sitting on a bench with a Tesco bag appears to be amused by the sight as the pair walked past him.
The rail operator added: “Well, ewe don’t see that every day at Paisley Gilmour Street! #WhatTheFlock #EweWontBelieveIt.”
While ScotRail doesn’t specify whether or not ewe can bring sheep onto its trains, the website says pets including dogs, cats and tortoises are welcome on board as long as they are on a lead or in a travel cage.
Locals flocked to the comments following the post. One said: “Seen it at Baaarhead.”
And another added: “He is looking a bit sheepish.”
In 2022, we reported shoppers were also 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 by a man wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a long walking stick.
Passer-by James Ormiston said the group “got plenty of attention”. He said: “While in Glasgow, 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.
Amused locals appeared as though they couldn’t wait to take a snap of the sheep.
One photograph showed an older gentleman and a young girl with their phones at the ready to take a picture, as a purple-haired woman, with a huge smile on her face, pointed at the animals.
Another pictured the sheep outside of the St Enoch Shopping Centre and the accompanying subway stop in front of members of the public who could not contain their happiness at seeing the woolly creatures in Glasgow city centre.
