For years I taught summer school while the annual bagpiping school was in sesion on our campus. Listening to 20 or 30 young souls taking their first whack at the pipes is in fact a near death experience. :rolleyes:

It's not a killing weapon, it's a psychological one. Pipes stir the blood of the highlander and frighten the English.
Lose something valuable to you and don't know who can help?
