I guess if you live in the centre of Edinburgh you shouldn’t be too surprised to pass a pipe band followed by 300 horses or so, marching up the Canongate…

Still, I was!

Two minutes previously I was just strolling down the road and thinking how nice it was that there wasn’t any traffic.

Anyway, nice to hear a decent pipe band, occasionally. It sounds so much better than the lone pipers who tend to belt out the same four tunes for the tourists.
