Prince Harry in his previous army job . Then the locals found out he was in Glasgow, so for his safety they sent him to Afghanistan.

Did not J. Gordon Stupart Barbers give them haircuts mounted,

I still get my haircut in there although Gordon retired years ago to Portugal. So I can now proclaim to have a short back and sides by Royal Appointment I'd better keep schtum about it though just incase the prices rocket ::):

Don't suppose anyone would have access to a copy of the Herald photograph of the mounted haircuts at Meadowside ?
