Scottish Bagpipes
Music is usually associated with beauty. It calms the mind and even the soul. Scottish bagpipes are also considered music, but they are more cacophonous than beautiful. Yet the sound of a bagpipe brings the beauty of Scotland to mind, so who says bagpipes don’t convey music?
While on a recent to trip to the Highlands of Scotland, we came upon this Scot playing his bagpipes in the street. He attracted quite a crowd. It was picturesque and memorable. I took his photo and share him with you here!

What a handsome guy! I mean the one appliqued 🙂 Great job!
Reminds me of my trip to Scotland and listening to bagpipe music. I truly admire your attention to details. Perfect!
I have to contradict your take on bagpipe music, it can be fantastic in the right setting! Great attention to detail!
Interesting interpretation ! great attention to details and very good reproduction of the scene. I like how you managed to reproduce the pavement.
Skillful interpretation of the theme and photograph
You managed to translate you picture into a quilt with all the details. Bagpipe music is a strange kind of noise, but it touches and tells a story.
