I've heard that before. Though haven't seen that video. Video certainly adds to it.

If bagpipes were used to place fear in the enemy, why did the men playing them also subject their countrymen to the din and drone of the pipes?

Also, perhaps they should carry boom boxes, and play the Right Said Fred "I'm Too Sexy" towards their enemies. Should place at least double the fear in them, eh?

You forget the deadly peril to the boom box squad, should there be any Scotsmen in their ranks. The enemy wouldn't have a chance to get at them, the Scots would have slaughtered the others first.

That's funny.

This however, makes me want to hear bagpipes instead.

Right Said Fred I'm Too Sexy 1991 TOTP Stereo Single - YouTube

That’s the one. From the 90s. Is it music?

Loosely defined, I suppose there are people who would defend it as such.

Not I though.

It is a waste of bandwidth.

The only useful purpose is to strike fear in one's enemies, and annoy one's friends.

Heh, I guess the other half went yesterday

In the same area, but no houses this time.

I'm no Civil Engineer (my uncle was though) but I would say that highway is going to take a lot of in filling.

Couple of truck loads of gravel should do it, don’t you think?

Still another happy outcome in Alta.

It would be cheaper and easier to move it inland a bit.

I see a driveway to another home on the left. If the home isn't condemned the driveway will require relocation too.

Just needs ramps, that's all.
