Was that guy claiming to have won a piping competition with a practice chanter? Impossible

Paul, your pictures are superb, pity I arrived a wee bit late to get my photo taken but I did meet up with Ern later on (got my dandelion and will keep it as as a souvenir) and we both got a photo taken, hopefully Ern will post it on the forum.
The weather on Saturday was great and brought out a crowd of about 30,000 people unfortunately the rain reduced the attendance on Sunday
I was disappointed in the Talisker tent, paid £5 for a commemorative glass and 3 tiny, tiny, tiny measures of whisky, they could not have been so mean but thats Diageo for you

He said everyone else pulled out of the competition because it started raining and they requested to pipe inside.
Cheers Jimmy... everyone said that about the measures!
and thanks for the pics acaig. Was good to see you guys and thanks for the additional pics. I'm a bit of a rebel with my dandelion pointing downwards!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
