Competition celebrates tenth anniversary of National Piping Centre
The skirl of the bagpipes is either music to the ears or a heart-sinkingly tedious screech. And the range of bagpipe tunes heard on street corners or played by marching bands can be so repetitious that most Scots know every note of Highland Cathedral, Scotland the Brave and Amazing Grace.
To remedy this, the National Piping Centre will celebrate its tenth anniversary today by introducing its answer to the Eurovision Song Contest to find new classic bagpipe tunes.
It hopes that its international search will produce a tune to march, dance or even punch the air to as the national side notches up yet another stirring triumph.
