Arabian pipers

A bit of a surprise when we came across them - they started their evening with Scotland the Brave! Apparently this is the Dubai Police Band, although I don't know how they got this habit...

Bagpipes have been around in the Arab world much time before Arabs knew there was a place called Scotland.

Every country in the Middle East which was a British colony or under British mandate plays the bagpipes :-)

@Kra7as Aye indeed......I think actually Scotland is one the last places in the Bagpipish evolutionary journey.... :-)

@Kra7as This is true, but the Scots did for the bagpipe what the slicer did for bread.

[coolsortof]

[MrThedalaillamaknows]

@Kra7as true as that is, this is clearly a great highland bagpipe style pipeband, plus some local percussion
