    I’ll never forget my wife getting piped into our wedding day to this. As a Liverpool born and bred boy we didn’t hear much of or appreciate the beauty of the music of bagpipes. My wife Scottish like n we live in Glasgow. N we got married in a hotel in Georgie square for those familiar to Glasgow. the people of Glasgow are just amazing folk! We had all our pictures took around the city centre at well known sites such as cone head! And my wife looking stunning in her wedding dress was just getting clapped by everyone while we was walking about! What a day and that song just brings it all back to me.xxx

    I first heard this being played in Buchanan st, Glasgow by a young very talented group of boys called Awkward Family Portraits, and it blew my socks off, and it’s the best I’ve heard.

    I am very proud of my Scottish roots. I am part Scottish part Inuk from Canada. My father immigrated to Canada from Paisley near 40 years ago & married a beautiful Inuk woman (mom) & the rest is history. I love Scotland & feel such a powerful connection to the Highlands everytime I visit ❤
