And a lefty with his right playing high hand!

Yes fully reversed. We have a guy like that in our pipe band.

The band with the most ciotach pipers has got to be Strathclyde Police (Police Service Scotland) that's been seen with four of them in the ranks.

Here's three, looks like, in the front rank



Years ago I was at a piping school lead by Evan MacRae, long the Pipe Major of the Cameron Highlanders. He said look at photos of the band back when he was PM, you'll always see ciotach pipers. He said it was because there was an island in the Camerons' recruiting region where all the pipers played that way (I can't remember which island).
