Absolutely amazing, powerful, soul boosting video. You both have our Scottish traditional genes from hundreds of years ago. What a thrill to have you so close, here in Cape Breton. My great grandfather settled here from Skye almost 200 years ago, "Angus (piper) MacPherson on the land grant map, and you guys make me feel what it would be like to be there with them. I so admire you talents. Thanks.
