In May 2019 I went on a cruise in Northern Europe, starting with four stops in Scotland. At three of those stops, we were either greeted or farewelled by pipers on the dock. These folks played for us for at least fifteen minutes at Invergordon.
That day we also went to Cawdor Castle, where a lone piper in the garden played the infectious Skye Boat Song (AKA the Outlander song).

Magpiegem I live on the English coast but we have a bagpiper that walks up and down one of our local beaches playing. I assume because he‘s not allowed to practice at home! On the right day there‘s something quite atmospheric about his music drifting out to see. It reminds me of bedknobs and broomsticks 2y
Susanita @Magpiegem That‘s so cool! I used to work at a small military post in Washington DC. One of my coworkers used to see a piper on the grounds, practicing for funerals at Arlington Cemetery. 2y
