    Seen this morning

    A little background for you on my days off I give my sister a drive down to her work, well on my way back home I heard the unmistakable sound of bagpipe drones, so I found a place to park and went to investigate well this is who I found, outside my alma mater.





    We had a good little chat but I only got these two shots, sometimes I love living in Toronto, I am sure there are many cities where you just would not see anything like this.

    That's not something you'd see often here. Quite a treat, really

    Todd you are quite right but that should not be a surprise as the 48th are Toronto's Highland Regiment.

    You definitely would not see that around these parts. The only time you see bagpipes is a reenactment or the highland games in Greensboro.

    Of course you are right again Todd, now who lives here again? You must remember though that the 48th were Toronto's first Highland Regiment. If anyone wants more information on the 48th you could check here or here

    For the Toronto Scottish check here
