Bagpiping in the Scottish Highlands (Video Compilation)
Do your pipes sound loud?
Do they warble free and proud?
Can you finger the taorluath
While you're marching up the war-path?
Can you cast them over your shoulders
And play a strathspey for the soldiers?
Do your pipes ring loud?
Playing atop the Old Man of Storr, overlooking the coast and Loch Leathan...
For a day, I was the gentleman bagpiper of Eillean Donan Castle.

A Drive Along the West Coast
Loch Duich into the pass of Glen Shiel and the Five Sisters
Along the old military road built to ward off Jacobite risings
The old government barracks, for the Highland "watch"
The first sight of Christianity preached in Scotland
