"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.

Signage--quasi-official. Name tags, as well. No skimping here. Professional all the way.

Thanks for the fantastic photos, Bob and Freelancer!
I'm sorry that we didn't meet, but I was standing a little away from you during the open ceremonies and spied your name tag. Unfortunately, the bands started at that time and I got caught up with my own photo taking (hopefully pics to follow).
Later I was wandering around the paths looking for your sign, but never saw it or you.
