Yes, I knew that. My white blood is descended from Robert Boyd who fought beside William Wallace as his right hand man until Wallace was killed. Then he fought beside Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn when Scotland won their freedom in 1314.
If ye canna hear the pipes an not have your heart stirred, ye dinna have one.

That's cool. William Wallace was a pretty scary guy though. Not quite what Mel Gibson made him out to be.

The bagpipes are not an instrument of war but they are definitely an instrument of torture, a bit like watching Scotland try to play footie.

Speaking of which, I suppose most people don't know the real reason we wear kilts. The sound of a zipper scares the sheep.
