Hi again! I appeared and piped in a theatrical pageant to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Stirling Bridge at Stirling Castle in 1997..It was quite a big affair on the castle esplanade, seven performances in total I think with full houses each night..I was involved in battle scenes staged during the production...Great fun but I most certainly was not in Braveheart. Slainte!.
thats the same Jimi the piper I met in Edinburgh ,great guy ,was in the movie ''Braveheart '' no fooling as a stand in ,in the Sterling bridge victory battle scene he's in the back row portraying funny enough a PIPER!! Got a picture of him and he could be Mel's double,hello to you Jimi from a Yank,sadly Parliament wouldn't allow him to play the Highland pipes on the Mile so he switched to smallpipes
@gloripine Sorry dude.. That's me - Jimi the Piper - and I definitely wasn't in Braveheart. Don't know where you got that info from... I did pipe at Parliament Square though so nice to talk to you again after all these years...More vids of me piping during different eras on Forkyjim's page.. Slainte!
Well I talked to you on more than one occasion ,I thought you said you were an extra in the battle scene,'Stirling''
