Scottish Ghost?

[macwilkin]

There is a theory that the piper was a MacIntyre as it was Colkitto who was warned.

Hmm...that's a new one. Most versions of the legend tell it that the piper was a Donald, given the association with Col Ciotach Macdonald.

The legend also states that when the handless skeleton was found in the 19th century, it was given a Christian burial, but the ghost remained active, being that the burial was Episcopalian, and the ghost, most likely a Roman Catholic.

Some MacIntyres were hereditary pipers to some of the MacD chiefs, including Colkitto.

Ah, very good then...some of our Cummings were hereditary pipers to the Grants.

In this wonderfully mysterious world of ours, I reckon anything is possible.

Don't worry; I have both hands. Papa-Kilt, why don't you post an intro in the Newbie forum so we can get some info on you. It's not required, of course.
