  • I carnt wait till I cut peat with my old man! New season nearly here, shame about the weather right now but it should keep off the midges! Our Caba-lar and the Torr-sgian need a sharpen. Me and pops are the only peat cutters on the Isle Of Arran now, there was loads at one time. Great video and nice sounding pipes.

    This is the stuff that makes a true Scot!

  • Neil, my daughter is 4 and loves your pipes...asks me to play your video every weekend. Amazing the way this was cut years ago. Thanks for demonstrating. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.

  • Thanks for your comment. I should like to see yr peat cutting. Neil Cameron plays the bagpipes and it is him playing ' Jenny tie your ribbons tight'Maybe he is better at that than cutting peat!

  • dunno what this is but its not turf cutting. you should have seen the way it was done in the midlands up to twenty years ago. wing slanes and breast slanes. you could put a spirit level on the bank and the bubble wouldn't move. its a dead trade now. duncan stewart and john gormly and the rest of the left wing tree huggers have destroyed a way of life

  • @newbridgesm WELL SAID

  • Thank you, I'll tell him.Richard

  • fair play to you
