    Did he not mention the ghost piper of Duntrune? One of my favorite ghost stories.

    Of course, he cannot escape that question. His response that I've heard him say several times now is “he doesn't bother us and we don't bother him." When asked what he sees, he replies it’s a sense of presence or sense of movement but not seeing anything. You do know that XMarker, ThatCelticBand has written a song about the piper ghost of Duntrune, called The Warning. Shawn and the lads perform it rather well, IMHO.

    Day 10 – Travels Along Loch Awe

    Good morning, Duff!




    Redshanks retrieves me at the B&B and we are off on new adventure!
    Traveling along Loch Awe, Chris asks, “Do you want to see a beautiful waterfall?”
    We pull off to the side of the road.










    It’s a Robbie Red day!

    Day 10 – Travels Along Loch Awe


    Some cousins of Duff.




    A little further down the road, we stop to take some pix of Kilchurn Castle from across the Loch.

    Epilogue: Ghost Piper of Duntrune

    The recent issue of our Clan newsletter quotes Chief Robin on his experiences with the Ghost Piper of Duntrune. So, I thought I would add it here since the question came up on this thread.
