It's almost here! I've just been listening to the last of the interviews, and am pleased to bring you a clip from Meldrum & Bourtie Heritage Society - quite a few of the interviewees from Meldrum were in the Pipe Band, and Syd Ross recalls one hairy incident with a prize hen and some bad driving!
Evelyn Munro: So have ye any other stories to tell about the Pipe Band? Ony funny stories?
Syd Ross: Well, the only thing that I can mind aboot, once wis, I think it wis Stonehaven we wis at, we wis comin hame fae Stonehaven, it wis… och, it must’ve been twelve o’clock at night, we wis comin through Aiberdeen, Alick Gray won a hen, a white hen, but that time fan ye got a hen it wisna aa parcelled up, ye get its heid and its feet an’ its feathers an aathing!
