Todd Bar World's Week events announced

The University of Strathclyde's Lord Todd Bar is in many ways the original venue for piping and drumming events during the days leading up to the World Pipe Band Championships, and the venue has again expanded its August schedule this year, while also introducing online ticketing.

Featured this year are sessions with Fred Morrison, Jim Kilpatrick, Willie McCallum and the return of the Karaoke Night on the day after the big contest for those not wanting the celebrations to end.

Dont fret Robbie, there are some of us NOT from that part of the woods who can pronounce names properly, ie D' ELL or in your case??? for Crow read NUMPTY??

.....according to legend, one of Gillian's presumed ancestors, General 'Bloody Tam" Dalyell who earned a reputation for savagery, also played cards wi' the devil......

Better watch out Robbie bhoy.......maybe it's been passed on to Gillian through the genes.

Hmmm....maybe the less said about what's passed on through the 'jeans' the better...

Oops?? methinks you will be receiving a rather strong rebuke for that one Big fella??

By god he will!!!!!!! . Wonder if Abbot is an english sasinak name???

....ouch....that hurt

And thankfully wrong. Family came from Ulster a couple of generations ago, and prior to that, from Bonnie Scotchland itself.

Hmmm......now back to your 'Wranglers'......

YESSSSSSSSSSS, good oul Ulster blood in yer veins m8.

We are kinda the same then only in reverse.

Two Ulster-Scots now on the forum, anymore closet ulster men / women?........no wannabes nor plastic yins, need da have true claim da the Ulster - Scot heritage.
