A granddad who really loves the Forth Bridge has bought a giant painting of the bridge, despite only having to look at the bridge in all its glory.

Murphy Green posted a video on Twitter of his grandmother giving his granddad abuse for buying the giant painting and it has gone viral.

Murphy Green said: ‘So granddad was at a sportsman’s dinner and bought a 10ft X 4ft picture of the Forth Rail Bridge. Seemingly he forgot he could just open the blinds, granny not happy with him!’

‘He still thinks it’s a great idea pal granny is ready to chuck it and him into the garage.’




After the video was watched over 300,000 times Murphy is trying to get in touch with his granddad to tell him why he is famous.

He said: ‘Well that escalated quickly after that last video today’s plans have changed slightly. First thing we need to do is explain to grandad that nearly 300k people have viewed his front room on Twitter, second thing to do is explain to granddad what Twitter is I may be some time.’

There might have been motive behind the madness and Helen on Twitter might have got the answer.

She said: ‘Great picture. It was obviously bought for when the weather is dreich (rubbish).’
