Piping in Oban, Scotland 2012

I just received this photo from a friend, who took it during our trip to Scotland this last August. It is out in front of our hotel in Oban. I was playing my pipes and he took the photo. It's a beautiful town and he is a very talented photographer.

Breathtaking, Sir. I can only imagine what it was like in person, and I really cannot wait to make it there myself, one day.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Thanks, Ryan. It was quite the evening. I must post an edit, though: Let's say it was actually last August--2011.

Very nice! Were you there for the Argyllshire gathering? I have several friends that pipe in the competitions held there each year. Yes, it is quite beautiful there, so much so, it's almost humbling.

Cheers,
