Down and out Dreadlock Guy.

[Findlayhibby]

Sorry don't know the guy's name.But you used to see the guy sitting in the bus stops up Leith Walk.He has terrific dreads(not as I've heard really through choice) and he was a regular character.The thing is I haven't seen him in ages.Is he still with us?Is he being looked after?Does anybody know?

Used to always buy him a cuppa tea and a fiver whenever he was outside the Seabreeze on Leith Walk. Quiet fellow, hope he’s okay.

As far as I'm aware and it was quite recent, a couple of months, he's in a nursing home being well looked after.

 

[Findlayhibby]

Now that's good news!Do you know his name?

Took him a whole to accept help, but as far as I know hes doing okay.
He took ill and had trouble to start with.

He is in a sheltered housing accommodation with own flat yet communal day room, at which I have no doubt he will keep the other auldies entertained about his experiences. God bless, things were rough for a very long time.
BIG G

Used to see him sleeping in doorways on the Walk early in the morning getting my bus home from my missus at the time. Maybe 7-8 years ago? There was a story that his family had perished in a house fire, glad to hear he’s being well looked after.

Lovely guy, glad to hear he’s back with a roof over his head. Least he deserves
