I have never seen Northumbrian pipes worn as headgear. Perhaps you can provide photos? |

Oh, [8th]. If only you had been there... I was at a wedding, some years ago, in Inverness. The main hall held just less than 100 folks for dinner... anyway, long story short (kinda). We heard the drone of a piper outside and expected him to be involved in some kind of first dance ensemble (the bride was a piper herself so this would be a nice touch). We were not prepared for what followed... |

"Ladies & Gentlemen, please welcome the Royal Northern Constabulary Pipe Band!". One by one they inexorably march in, like a Roman legion all trying to search a single house, 20 pipers, base drum, drum major and all. The bride was then handed a set of pipes... |
