but I don't really understand what makes grown men allow themselves to be regimented by someone like that. It's one thing when they are serving soldiers, but another when they get pleasure from it.

Cheers, Graham.

It is largely a clan and estate pride thing.

Different horses for courses and all that. Remember that many of the Atholl Highlanders are ex-servicemen.

Personally, I think it's a fine custom.

I'd join! But first I'd like to try to raise my own private army first...

Thank you for posting that Beloitpiper, I was very pleased to see pictures of the USA branch of the Atholl Highlanders too.

To me it is not any different than joining a historical reenactment group or some para military social group.

The two really aren't connected except in the most tenuous of ways. I think the "real" Atholl Highlanders would be shocked at the slovenliness of the American pipeband.
