This year the traditional Hawick Jazz Festival weekend has been rebranded as Hawick Buskers' Festival and opened up to include other kinds of music than jazz.

The Saturday of the event always sees lots of street musicians out and about and the first piper I encountered was outside the entrance to Morrisons supermarket.

Can anyone identify which kind of pipes these are?

There were quite a few kilts to be seen in the High Street. As it was another scorcher of a day I wore my lightweight polycotton McKenzie, having taken advice from the forum and purchased a leather sporran belt as the sporran chain threatened to cut right through the very thin polycotton after only a few outings.
