The Barber of Ferryhill: Duncan Harley | My Aberdeen Scratch Night | Thursday 8 October 2015 | The Lemon Tree

I have rarely visited Ferryhill and suspect that the place may, in fact, be barberless. No matter, if there were indeed a true Barber of Ferryhill, the establishment would resemble barbers everywhere. A smiling lady dressed in black, well-armed with sharp instruments, stands just out of reach in the mirror. As she cuts, she banters incessantly about the weather, foreign holidays and that Mrs Brown down the road, while the paying victim squirms and fears the worst! One wrong answer and you risk becoming just one more sprawled bloody corpse in the barber's chair courtesy of the violin case in the corner. I find it best to dominate the entire conversation. It's both safer and less stressful, plus you often get a better haircut.
