Another one of my favourites from the football worldcup party two years ago with a new treatment.
Scotland wasn´t engaged, but they played their part outside the stadions.
My first song for this was 'Cadence to arms' by Dropkick Murphys,
an instrumental, which is nothing but 'Scotland the Brave' going punk.
But you have to hear it rough and loud, and I couldn´t find a good live video.
So I´ve chosen another: Raggle Taggle Gypsy by the Waterboys.
There are no bagpipes in the song, but it sounds a bit like it.
And the band is Scottish/Irish and one of my favourites.
Also for the November Challenge 'A song, a poem, or a proverb' today.

I like the way you have captured some iconic motifs here: the red hair, the tassels on the pipes, the fabric of the bags, and the sense of movement. Well done..
