Thats the massed Pipe Bands gathering just across the street from my house at the RBL-fresh from the Braemar Gathering.
I know the Pipe Bands arent everyones cup of tea but when you see hundreds its quite stirring -could do without them tuning up next to the house tho lol

[wendilla]

I love them could watch them for ages.

[ttfn]

I bet it is a wonderful sight and sound Dris - better than screaming children!

[wolf63]

wendilla - watching hem is one thing, listening to them is another.

It isn't the sort of music you can ignore. It's okay in small (very) doses.

Enjoy Dris - I am off to watch TV.

I should love to go to the tattoo at edinburgh. I was born there.

[Dris]

All the coaches are arriving at the moment and its heartening to see all the young ones carrying on the tradition :)
Have just had to shout at one tho -cos he was practising at my open lounge window -too much lol !!

[ttfn]

Poor Dris - I would just turn off the hearing aid ☺

[joeluke]

Fine if you like sound akin to a load of cats being strangled

Not what I'd call music

[Dris]

wolf -its an aquired taste but I still get goosebumps every time so guess ive aquired it :)

wendilla -you must go -I have been several times and I can honestly say its the most awesome sight.Surrounded by the Castle with the spotlight on the lone piper on the Castle Ramparts -a sight to behold.

[ttfn]

I like it very much actually joe, lone pipers are very popular in the south

[Thomas]

Why are they always fat and look ready to burst?

[ttfn]

They have just eaten a steam train, that is where they get the wind from to make the sound come out of the bagpipes ☺

[wendilla]

I have been up edinburgh castle a few years ago

[Ankou]

wolf if you are off to watch x factor then you might hear cats being strangled too

Fabulous Dris, we watched the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on TV last week - spectacular. We would have gone to the Gathering of the Clans event when it was on, but it was too expensive!

[Mctavish]

Can I just join in - Went to the Edinburgh Tattoo 2 weeks ago it was fantastic. One item that was very good was the New Zealand Army Band doing the rugby Haka ( not sure of speling) to music. And of course the massed pipes amd drums were superb.

[Dris]

wendilla boxy joe ttfn ankou -sorry for not coming back -they were brilliant spesh the p!shed drummers -well a malt or two is just too much to refuse on their big day lol !!

Off out -ttfn (lol ♥♥♥)

Have a great night -if I appear at silly o' clock tell me gently it would be in my best interests to go to bed;)
