Snoop Dogg welcomed to Scotland in the most Scottish way possible

'Pipe it like it's hot'

The rapper, arriving at Glasgow Airport ahead of his show at the OVO Hydro, was greeted by a performance on the bagpipes, and he appeared to love it.

Snoop, wrapped his blanket over his head, and did a little shuffle to the music, before raising his hand in thanks to the performer as he got into a waiting vehicle.

Musician Ross Ainslie shared pictures of the Californian on his Instagram page.

As if the bagpipes weren't going to give him away, Ainslie also dressed in a high-vis jacket and traditional kilt to serenade Snoop.

And he hit him with a classic - 'Still D.R.E' by Dr Dre, which Snoop also drops a few bars on.

Snoop raised a thumbs up in appreciation.

Ainslie captioned the pic: "Played for @snoopdogg the day!"

He also shared a picture of him posing alongside the rapper as he held on to some of the pipes, writing: "Snoop Dogg getting into the pipes today!"

Snoop's visit to the OVO Hydro came after he cancelled his tour last year due to "unforeseen scheduling conflicts" which also forced him to delay the Scotland gig. It was originally meant to take place on 26 August.

Ainslie has been widely praised for his bagpiping banger, with viewers saying he "smashed it" and describing the scene as "class".

Some viewers branded Ainslie as the Snoop of the piping world, with one writing: "Pipe it like it’s hot. awesome man!," while another added: "The Piper D O Double G."
