The Gathering 2009!!!!!

[Paul]

This guy was great... first he played his chanter, told me he won a piping championship because it was raining and no one wanted to get their full set of bagpipes wet so he won! then... he was busking mid-parade for money for a full set! and then he told me how is single-handedly going to gather a strong army to gain control of the Castle and Palace. I told him I'd fight for a piping champion anyday! haha



and finally... I saw a guy who looked like Malcolm, took a picture of him and then Malcolm was a couple of clans behind. I tried to take a picture of him and my camera ran out of battery!
So here's "Malcolm" in the parade!



I had a great time meeting you all... you're all surprisingly good people! and I await your pictures of the day, parade and the group photo at the bar!


EDIT-
Here's a video of the massed pipe bands at the start:
