The Pickled Piper

Observations on the ups and downs of a professional weddings and events piper living the dream in the great city of Edinburgh

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@Official_1WG An excellent idea. If a kilted former Scots Guardsman can be of any help…. I am at your service 😄💂

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@ChrisBalster ‘Voluntary’ love it. The pipe band at the start of the film is not Scots Guards ….but SG Pipes and Drums are there at the end. They obviously didn’t fancy volunteering for the whole march 😊💂

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@RoryStewartUK Well said 😊

[Winton Castle @wintoncastle]

A brief history of the castle with Francis beautifully translated by ⁦@French_Kilt⁩ before the theatrical Address to the haggis performed by ⁦@apickledpiper⁩ #RobertBurns

@wintoncastle I always enjoy a wee photo next to the Winton Tree 🌲

@afneil Wait until you hear the story behind the tune Andrew. ‘Royal Fendersmith’

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@FlashForFreedom ….. and representing the Brigade of Guards … 💂‍♀️

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@Newbattleatwar @S_M_R_G Can’t identify the band 100% but it’s not the Police PB. Looks military certainly. Drummers with bugles etc best guess is Cameron Highlanders. Distinctive white sporran worn by NCO/officer standing in esplanade

@EdinburghZoo I remember piping that lorry up the hill to the new Panda enclosure🎶

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@WelshGuards Always a toughie 💂‍♂️💪

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@The_AndyJohnson Character building apparently 😃💂‍♂️

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

Fantastic to be back at wedding again. Pretty exhausting though. Today at Gosford House, East Lothian.

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

Ten years today on Twitter apparently. Time to renew the love I think. Instagram took over for a while 📷

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@airborne316 @scots_guards I agree. I was there 😊💂‍♂️

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@The_AndyJohnson Yep. KFS tucked behind in the left hand. Character building stuff 😀

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@Newbattleatwar Don’t get me started John. Actually shouted out my car window at a cop I the Meadows last week. Both hands in pockets with baseball cap jauntily on the back of his head. At least he had the grace to look startled and remove said hands from said pockets 😀

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@ArmyInLondon @ColdstreamGds @BritishArmy @the5Guards Superb! 💂‍♂️

[The Pickled Piper @apickledpiper]

@nicmharcuis Can’t understand people who cover themselves in tartan 😀

@wintoncastle @info85187048 @Lou_piper @PipingScot @stevie_dewar Noisy bloomin things 🎶
