    I heard it on a radio program, yesterday. It was an interview with the Director of the Trust that maintains the area. I think it was a NPR radio and he stated that of men took the keyboard apart,, and each man was given a bunch of the keys.

    Seems like pushing things up Ben Nevis is like spitting off skyscrapers, some people just can't resist.

    I suppose the focus of our attention should be on the instrument he was carrying, but I cannot help noticing that Mr. Campbell's kilt is apparently very much of the mini variety! Hillwalking kilts are generally an inch or two shorter than our everyday kilts, but six inches shorter is pushing it somewhat - or am I just old-fashioned?!!!

    It looks like the kilt might have been rucked up a bit by the piano.
