Subject: RE: bagpipes at Colloden
You kids play nice!

Seriously though, I saw a piper warming up last Sat in Antigonish Co (Nova Scotia) at the Culloden memorial cairn. It was built to commemorate some men that fought at the battle, and then made their way to NS and landed at or near the spot where the cairn is along the Northumberland Strait. I would have loved to attend but was on my way to a funeral. They hold it every year on the date of the Battle.

Here's a link to the local paper. The photo gallery section has some nice pics of the ceremony.
