in my mall last Saturday

I feel so lucky to have found a place to live that not only encourages kilts but pipers as well. Directly on the inner Harbour of Victoria, right across the street from the Parliament Buildings, The Royal BC Museum, and The Empress Hotel is "Pipers Corner". This corner is so named because it is reserved for pipers who wish to Busk. You know, grab your pipes, lay your Glengarry at your feet, and play away, hoping tourist will drop a few coins in appreciation.
Almost any sunny day (and a few rainy ones as well) the skirl of pipes can be heard over the traffic and roofs of my adopted city.

Hardy surprising... Victoria is the most British city in Canada.... hence the abundance of double-decker busses!

About the only time I see pipes here is at the games.That is aggravating want to see them more than once a year.

They must be coming to the world piping Championships in Glasgow In August, I will be there. Good photo

I always wanted to have afternoon tea in the Empress Hotel and the idea of having it to the skirl of the pipes across the street makes it even more appealing!

...so the idea is that if you give the pipers enough money they will go far, far away? I can think of a few folks who'd consider that a good investment...

Best
