and another thing. AC/DC had a few records with the pipes in it.
anyone else notice the dirk on the guy of the left ?
most of the time it is worn/placed on the inside not the outside.
now, look up why that is so ? guess.
Bon Scott played bagpipes so they were included on some AC/DC songs recorded before he died in 1980.
Go to youtube and search for “It’s a long way to the top live 1976”
The skean-dhu is usually worn on the outside. I’ve been to the Glengarry Highland Games several times and I’ve never seen one worn on the inside of the calf.
what I was told by troops in the Queen’s own was it was worn on the inside so it didn’t show. and the reason was if you had to knee before the asshole who beat you, you could always grab it and stab up with it.
granted that was a long time ago and there was a LOT of us where drinking a lot more than we should have.
after the “may day parade” and the booze was a flowing.
one of the more “fun” things you did in the West Berlin back in the 1970’s. so I always saw it as a last ditch weapon.
I guess they wear them on the outside for show ?
hey, I like the pipes myself. have a cd or two of it here at home and one in the truck.

Love the pipes.
Ally the piper is pretty good
Why do bagpipers always march?
They’re trying to get away from the sound.
