    Inspiration

    I'm not sure if this has been covered before here, but this is inspiring for the sound of the pipes, and the wearing of the kilt.

    I'm always amazed at these stories. Just think, when it seems the most sensible action is to crawl in a hole and hide, these men stood in the line of fire and played the pipes.

    If only those who ridicule the kilt could hear these stories, they might change their minds. Some of the people who I have met who most respected the heritage of the kilt are those who have served near highland regiments.

    Inspiration

    I wish i could remember where i got it. I actually thought i got it here on X marks. I wanted to reintroduce it because it was so moving.
    Some great footage of pipes and kilts.
    I'm So glad you all were moved as i was.
    I would like to track down the source of the poem the female narrator reads at the end.
    Any ideas?
