So you count Scotland as a part of Greater London? :-))

Don't tell Sean Connery that. He will send a piper from
the Black Watch to play outside your bedroom window
at 0400 hrs:-)

But Connery doesn't even live there, and doesn't go back unless he
feels the need to renew his Scottish credentials.

Why do bagpipers always march while they play? It is harder to hit a
moving target.

I have recently been reading the WW1 diaries of Major James Riddell,
of the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers, whose sword I have in my
collection. He wrote that his CO complained bitterly to GHQ when
a Scottish infantry regiment of lower seniority was sent into battle before
the Northumberlands. The reason given by GHQ was that they *had*
to send the Scots in to kill someone before they started killing eachother.

Germans infantry commanders told that their troops were more afraid
of "the skirl of the pipes" than they were of phosgene gas.

The Scottish regiment was called "The devils in skirts", and it wasn't
their guns that the Burper tribesmen were scared of.
