I am given to much thought about the last three weeks and the passing of my last conscience on this mortal plane .and i am called to a conversation many would have no inkling to.allude to the pipe music or as we sasanaks would call them bagpipes. this instrument is a powerful thing it has the ability to raise the smallest of men to achive the greatest of deeds.first found in use proper in the first world war 1914/1918 four years of supreame sacrifice followed by 1939/1944. the musicle instrument was used by the scottish regiments of foot the royal scots the black watch .dragoon guards .fusillers.and all highland regiments. the expression over the top relates to a set time when whole regiments would climb up ladders to walk into the gunfire of machine gun and artillery fire from the germans. at the front of each attack would stand a pipe major and his core of pipers and the drummer boys for my uncle william was a drummer at 16yrs old in the royal scots regiment of foot. refered to as deviles in skirts because as the pipes and drums came to full tune and walked in front of the attack lines . the germans new that the men who followed the pipers where coming to kill them. so for your history lesson the instrument refered to as THE BAG PIPES are to this day recognised as the ONLY musicle instrument that is classed as a weapon of WAR. not only do they lift the hackles on the the back of your neck but with hope and love they have lifted my uncle williams soul and i am so honourd to have worn his tartan and i can tell you now it will not be the last .the reason i was made to wear his tartan with no comprimise was to gift it by family.and like every other problem or anything else he did in life i was the last to know.so not only did he save me from 20yrs inside he gave me money when i had nothing at all to buy this place .he gave to me means to make payments .he really was a second father.and i am broken hearted again.if advice i can give ,its this Rombaro is not allways the best place but i have fullfilled my obligation. and now i have no conscience.no worry and i have no heart
