My Scottish piper ?

My Scottish piper ?

I woke up the other morning to an old familiar sound..Scottish bagpipes revererberated all around.. well to my utter astonishment and I just couldn’t believe my eyes.. there on our park was a wonderful surprise..

We have a little holiday park at the foot of the hills so tourists come camping for their pleasure and thrills.. so this man had his camper van with his partner and his old collie pet.. and when I saw him playing his bagpipes..well was I happy.. you can bet!!! I love to hear the old Scottish songs from Oh so long ago.. and I asked him if I could record him would he mind.. and he said “Och no”

Well I stood as he belted out “Speed bonny boat over the sea to Skye” and by the time he was finished.. I had a teardrop in my eye.. never in my entire life has that happened you see.. I had a real true Scotsman play his bagpipes just for me.. What an honour that was and from such an interesting bloke .. Eeeh on our park we meet the loveliest of folk..
