Piping in the Haggis

[sav]

Prester John,

Welcome! To add to Todd's comments, I am a piper who routinely pipes in the haggis. If you have any questions about the music side of things, PM me and I can suggest appropriate repertoire.

Slainte!

To add to Sav's post ;) -- Our piper will usually play "A Man's a Man for a' That", in honour of Burns, although he has played "Scotland the Brave" and "Scots Wha Hae" as well.

Now I understand the [what I then thought bizarre] scene on "Monarch of the Glen" --when I saw the piper in the dining room...

Golly, who is Glenbogle's Ghillie (gamekeeper) is following an old custom in the officer's messes of the Scottish Regiments; Check out the movie "Tunes of Glory" to see another example of this tradition.

Cheers,
