    He is indeed, Trefor! I had private lessons from a retired Pipe Major back in the '70s, but gave up after about a year because a) I just could not master the thing, and b) because I could not learn to read music!! Such a dreadful shame, as I really wanted to learn.

    I ordered it with the kilt, three years ago, from our good friends at KiltStore and, at the same time ordered a dark blue denim kilt with matching sporran. Here are a couple of photos. The first is at the Scott Monument in Edinburgh:


    .......and the second is at Sir Winston Churchill's home at Chartwell in Kent:


    Both these kilts are now archived in my Kollection as, unfortunately, I can no longer get into them!

    Oooops! So sorry. I forgot for a moment that this is a Piping Photos thread. Mods, please delete this and the post above, and I'll reply to Trefor by PM. Apologies again.
