I don't off the top of my head I'm afraid, and i can't ask him as he died several years ago. If it's really important though I can try and find out??

[B00]

If it helps you any I know he layed the bagpipes in it- that any good to you?

[B00]

Ermmm, he played them, not layed them, laying them might possibly be illegal!

I wonder whether whatever BOO's cousin did with the bagpipes is covered in more detail in Sir Walter Scott's novel The Lay of the Last Minstrel?

I served in the Scots Guards between 1962 and 1975. Mostly in 1st Bn. Is there any thing I can help you with?
