I don't hear much variety in Canada on the bagpipes - Scotland the Brave, Amazing Grace and the one OT is most likely referring to - The Flowers of the Forest. The latter is a slow lament they have always played at state or military funerals in Scotland and now on the "ramp ceremonies" for the Canadians fallen in Afghanistan.

I'm proud of my heritage and that the bagpipes bring instant recognition around the world and tie these old world tunes with their mournful origins into the modern world.

As for cowcatcher and his fixation with wearing kilts and no drawers :shock: - you could always borrow a skirt from your wife and give it a try :wink:

Kilts as they are worn nowadays are a bit of a joke actually - a fine piece of Scottish marketing though :lol: All the "clan tartans" and allocating visiting Koreans or Germans with their own clan pattern is complete and utter BS. The real origin of colored, clan specific tartans really began just prior to George IV's royal visit to Edinburgh in 1822. Perhaps even more successful than the CAB marketing job :lol:
