I first heard bagpipes at age four and it shook something loose inside me that has persisted for over seventy years. I have always felt there has to be a genetic component to this phenomenon. But who's the stiff nob in the limo? A youthful Prince Andrew?

      All by design in my humble opinion based on much political and industrial research.

    It’s good to see some traditions still hold strong just like the people of scotland we’re kind polite and easy going but just like our accent we maybe a little hard to understand at times but we are very well spoken and honest we say what’s on our minds just like the cold scottish weather our temperament is the same what say might be harsh but that’s just how we are we don’t mean bad by it. hearing the bagpipes soundings around the streets this makes me so proud to be scottish and to live in edinburgh born and raised all the stuff going on around the city the modernisation and development this helps take your mind of it all.
