In case the Internet goes down again, last night I heard the piper again so I rushed out to watch and listen. Thats him off to the left of Culloden House Hotel, and posing on the front steps afterward. He showed me how to disassemble the pipes -- they fit into a metal box about the size of a large toolbox. The black parts are made of wood from Africa and they must be kept at the right humidity or they will swell, or shrink and crack. He said, as he plays every night here all summer, that the pipes get progressively more heavy as the season goes on, as so much moisture is absorbed from his breath as he plays.
