    I didn't even know that there was a "wrong" side!

    Thanks for keeping us abreast of the anomaly.

    The massed band parade continues.



    Some pipers had changed their headgear - this chap had changed to a khaki Balmoral.

    Standing for the closing address.



    A more distant shot - Alex and Martin can be seen taking photos.



    Back at the car park - his Lairdship and Jim.

    she not playing left handed shes playing right handed. but holding her bag left handed/
    if she were playing left handed her hands would be reversed ie right hand at the top. to play truly left handed you would hold the bag under the right arm and have the right hand as the top hand (normally but a lot of sinistrals play " right handed")
