Bucket Heid

Although somebody more informed may be able to shed more light on this character and his whereabouts these days, I think he's well worth the mention given that he's known by several generations in Aberdeen for his selection of interesting cardigans and jovial banter contucted in a pleasing, gravelly tone of voice.

Often seen around the Castlegate end of Union Street and on Market Street, this gent likes a good drink and is prone to striking up conversation with punters in kebab shops and the like. The video description on youtube sums up his longevity on the streets of Aberdeen: "known this bloke since time began...he never changes".

Additionally, he courted more publicity upon becoming intimately acquainted with a bin near Castlegate (where he also gained the epithet honoured on this page) - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2211104/Aberdeen-man-William-Bucket-Heid-Middleton-got-head-stuck-bin-tried-fish-hat.html.
