Very cool! I am going to have to go back to Scotland to see this.

We went to Enumclaw, WA to the Highland Games. My sweetie took a video of the Massing of the Pipes. I meant to share it with FReepers but never got around to it...

Scotland´s become a little too antisemitic for me, thanks. No more Tattoos, and no more Walker´s Shortbread.
