A Traditional Scottish Welcome

On a calm summer evening in July,  Moonshadow's guests had a real treat, when our friend Kyle delighted us with a few traditional tunes on his pipes. 

The hairs on the back of our necks rose as the strains of the Dark Isle echoed round the bay,  the historic Dunstaffnage Castle making the perfect backdrop for this haunting lilt.  

 
Toes started tapping as a selection of lively jigs and reels followed and sets of eight were formed for an impromptu Strip the Willow on the pontoons. 



 

This musical extravaganza drew rapturous applause and cries of "Encore" from Moonshadow's crew and other appreciative boatowners in the marina and we knew then that we were in for a long night!

Somebody fetch that piper a well-earned dram!
