Oh, and if ever you want to play your bagpipes in the Botanical gardens again, please tune your pipes as a personal favour to me. You're right outside my window, and those drones could sure need a tweak...
I have to agree with you, the pipes are best heard from at least 100 yards away, somehow, to my ears, the notes seem much more pure.

Eagle feathers are not that common, not rare though, so I doubt that some of the Tartan Army are wearing them. Buzzard, pheasant, peacock wing feathers would be more likely. Sorry football is not for me, so I am not there!Honest!
