Hi Robert and Marion,
I was up in Scotland last year, (Edinburgh and Fife ) and apart from the rain...lol.
the bagpipes drove me bonkers.
I came out of a shop in Edinburgh and there was this bloke all dressed up in his tartan gear playing his bagpipes,...LOL made a rapid escape.

Foggy from down south.

Hi Robert.
Many thanks for the info. Wouldn't miss it for anything! I may be a Sassenach but I adore the pipes and drums. Would love to see it live in Edinburgh some time.
Thanks again for letting us know.

Some of the pipers in the street arent very good, they are just trying to make a few ££.

I have had a fear of bagpipes and kilts since getting 'mixed up' in the tattoo at the age of 4!!!!
