Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a fantastic time. I would have loved to have been there. :)


"There was a soldier a scottish soldier
who wandered far away and soldiered far away
there was none bolder with good broad shoulder
he fought in many a fray and fought and won
he'd seen the glory and told the story
of battles glorious and deeds victorious
now he's sighing his heart is crying
to leave those green hills of tyrol"


because these green hills are not highland hills
or the island hills
they're not my land's hills
and fair as these green foreign hills may be
they are not the hills of home....

Cheers

I sing that one every once and a while at a local folk music gathering. I was reminded of it after seeing those pipers and kilts. :wink:
