Scotland on TV

I just love these folks.

That's two of us Dee. I love getting the Newslette ron Friday to see the newest additions. Very entertaining and informative.

We've just uploaded a couple of new films to the web channel, which we thought you would enjoy.

The first one's all about the increasing popularity of piping with the young folk of Scotland. stv's Vicky Lee meets TNT (The New Tradition), a kilt-wearing group of 3 young guys who are breaking new ground in upping the profile of pipe music amongst the Scottish youth. Vicky also visits a group of young pipers from Johnstone, Renfrewshire, who are even attracting female juvenile members!

You can find the video here: http://www.scotlandontv.tv/scotland_...d=1380_SMG1863

And last week, we visited the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming in Edinburgh. Take a look at the video we made to learn more about the school & for a kilted rehearsal performance by the students.

Enjoy!

I couldn't see them rehearsing in kilts...

They are clearly achieving a good standard though. Good to see Gurkas taking up the pipes too.

Oops, sorry! There are some nice tartan pipes, though

We have more videos to come from the school - performances & a feature on the school itself - if you enjoyed this one. It's a great establishment. They should be cut and uploaded within the next week.

PS In response to the technical issue - we're not aware of any recent server problems. We upload 12 different versions in 3 formats (Flash, Windows Media & Real Media), so changing your viewing setting using the 'settings' icon below the player screen should hopefully solve the problem. Hope that works!

Where is this settings icon you speak of? Initially I set it to play Flash videos (which don't work at all) and now I want to try Windows Media Player but I can't for the life of me find the icon you're talking about.

Hi

Since this post, we have upgraded to a new Flash-only player, as many people (especially mac-users) couldn't use the old version of the player. The Flash videos should work if you have Flash version 8 or higher.

Hi everyone

We thought you might be interested in the new video we've just uploaded to the channel.

Howie Nicholsby of 21st Century Kilts presents a tour of Geoffrey (Tailor) Kiltmaker's Edinburgh Old Town Weaving Company, at the top of the Royal Mile, right by Edinburgh Castle. Over 200 clan and family tartans are woven at the only working weaving mill left in the city and Howie tells us all about how it all works.

Find the video here:

And there'll be more from Howie & family later this week.

Enjoy!

Very enjoyable and informative!

Of course, in the interests of fairness and balance, I hope you offer Gold Bros the same facility to show their weaving shops.

Trefor, that is quite the funniest comment I have ever known you to make. Well done!

Take care,

Thank you for bringing that to the attention of our membership - I was about to but you beat me to it!

You have used Howie several times in the past year or so. He is such a 'natural' in front of the camera, and he really knows his subject(s). An excellent choice!

Take care,
Ham.

(PS: I am still waiting for the call from your camera crew! Now the BBC are after me - a few days ago, I was contacted by one of their producers who, after a lengthy phone conversation, has gone off to plan a 30 minute documentary on my Kilt Kollection!!!)
