Tour Scotland Isle Of Islay Pipe Band Video


Tour Scotland Isle of Islay Pipe Band Video. The Isle of Islay, like so many of the hebridean isles, has been blessed with pipe music for the past two Millennia. For many years the Islay Piping Society had dominated music on the island. Although history shows the formation of a pipe band in the early 1950’s, it wasn’t until 1992 that islanders decided to start the current Islay Pipe Band, which was duly formed and subsequently registered with the Royal Pipe Band Association in Glasgow.

Tour Scotland Ghosts Of Culloden Video


Tour Scotland Ghosts of Culloden Video.

Can you hear them, can you see them
Marching proudly across the moor,
Hear the wind blow thru the drifting snow,
Tell me can you see them, the ghosts of Culloden.

Many bravely fought and sadly they were slain,
But they died with such pride and dignity,
Their lives were not in vain,
We still remember them,
They fought to save their land, and died for liberty.

Thru the mist you'll hear - a lonely piper play,
Listen carefully - you'll hear - a mournful cry,
Swords and bayonets crash - as man to man they clash,
They came to fight to live - and now they die.

Sung by Isla Grant.

Tour Scotland Dundonald Castle Glasgow Video



Tour Scotland Dundonald Castle Glasgow Video. Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire, is a fortified tower house built for Robert II on his accession to the throne of Scotland in 1371 and it was used as a royal residence by the early Stewart kings for the next 150 years. It was said to be Robert II's favourite residence and it was here that he died in 1390.

A secret or Ley tunnel is said to link Old Auchans and Dundonald Castle. A local loch was being drained through a ditch when it was observed that the water was vanishing into the earth; locals thought that the tunnel had been breached.

Dundonald is now in the care of Historic Scotland and managed by the Friends of Dundonald Castle, it is open daily between April and October, there is also a tea-room and visitor centre.

Tour Scotland Curling Video


Tour Scotland Curling Video. The Lake of Menteith is located on the Flanders Moss, upstream of Stirling. Until the early 1800s, the more usual Scottish name of Loch of Menteith was used.

The Lake of Menteith is often thought of as the only body of water in Scotland that is referred to as a lake, but there are others. The Loch is not particularly deep and can freeze over completely in exceptionally cold winters. If the ice becomes 7 inches or thicker, an outdoor curling tournament called The Bonspiel or the Grand Match is held on the loch. The last Grand Match was held in 1979. The planned 2010 Bonspiel was abandoned on health and safety grounds, as was this years, but as you can see this did not stop some of the die hard curling enthusiasts.
