Somme Battlefield Pipe Band in the display area
Some other stuff before the final
You might have noticed that there have been no pictures of the heavy games. There is a reason for this - the standard was very poor, even I could see that. The other thing is I think possibly more important, half the competitors didn't wear kilts. Or as in the case of the overall winner, put a kilt on to receive the trophy. I thought it was wrong so didn't photograph it.
Moving swiftly on.
The winning Solo Piper.
And the piper who came second.
Just for the record, the piper father of the boy in the "Sporran bites Woman" thread came nowhere.
Picture of a very dapper gentleman. Note the belt through the sporran loops, but the sporran belt not.
The Parade Marshal. Wearing a Prince Charlie that was too small and a long tie. He smoked the foulest smelling roll-ups. When I was in the RAF we used to call it "Camel $h1t and Cannabis". It smelled awful. Although he was Parade Marshal, no one took a blind bit of notice of his directions all day.
I suppose really I should have a picture of me just to prove I was there. This is me with a young man from Kenya, whose name is (this is no lie - he showed me his passport) Peter Myfatherhasthebiggestpotatoes. It's a cultural thing - I don't understand it either.
