I saw -----and heard---- them at the Inverness Highland Games last week.

You will note there are a lot of Sutherland kilts and a lot of Royal Canadian Air Force tartan kilts. The Sutherlands are worn by members of Hawick Scout Fellowship Pipe Band and the RCAF kilts by members of Air Force City Pipe Band from #413 Wing (Trenton) Air Force Association of Canada.

After a pause at the Trinity Gardens to play a static set, the band continued marching along High Street

My pipe major/ instructor should be in there somewhere but I can't find him in the photos. I'll let him know about these when he gets back.

If you can't find him in these pics he could possibly be in one of the other photos in my Flickr set from the event, there are 60 in total. https://www.flickr.com/photos/cessna...57645911716621
