The pipes the pipes are calling

To be dragged from your training by the skirl of the pipes is unusual even in Scotland. Loud is not the word!
A bit of asking found out that it is the World pipe band championships this weekend (how did I miss that one?) and these guys are the 'L.A. Scots' and have crossed the globe to compete.
I must say they were good - enough to belie the image of the bagpipes. I wish them luck however I don't think I'll be rushing in to see them compete
