Bagpiping in the Scottish Highlands (Video Compilation)

 Sounding the pipes over the coast of Skye overlook the isles of Raasay and Rona.




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.
