Members of the Wick Royal British Legion Scotland Pipe Band are being advised to wear ear protectors to prevent permanent hearing damage.

They'll be worrying about them catching a chill and making them wear tights next.

Oh brother.

I love the sound of bagpipes. They can reduce me to tears. Especially Amazing Grace.

I am not surprised, I remember hearing one in Fort Augustus (I think), god they were loud, now I mean JAYSUS they were really loud, I am talking blow your head off loud, the Scots didn't care, they were too busy fighting the nearby mountains to be bothered. God, its a great country scotland, "beautiful, but tough" (as the adverts mention).
