Welcome to David's Scottish Page

Scottish music, photos, links, and fun!!!


Jennifer was born and raised in Scotland and I wish I had been. I spent many fine years there and in that time I made many long lasting friends. I miss: walks in the hills, the people, dancing at a ceilidh, socialising at the pubs, and going to the Chip shop to get a haggis supper or a black pudding supper, among many other things. We still have contact with our friends and family there but, we don't see them often enough. When the opportunity arrives we hope to move back to the country we love so dearly. Anyone knowing of a job there...contact me quick!
The music you should be hearing is a great old Scots tune called, "The Mason's Apron".
The photo at the right was Jennifer and I returning from the Highland Festival in Alma, Michigan in 1996.

Do you know why pipers like to walk up and down while playing?
a) ... to get away from the noise
b) ... moving targets are harder to hit.

Following the "American Heritage " parade in Columbia Maryland, there was a reception for all the participants. This young Yuppette went up to one of the men who had marched in full Scottish regalia and said, "Excuse my bluntness, but I've just got to know, is anything worn under your kilt?"
"Nay, lassie," he replied with a wide grin, "It's as good as it ever was."

Did anybody hear how copper wire came to be invented in Scotland?

THE STORY OF SCOTLAND- In the beginning when God was creating the world, he was sitting on a cloud, telling his pal the Arch angel Gabriel what he planned for Scotland. "Gabby" says he, "I'm going to give this place high majestic mountains, purple glens, soaring eagles, streams laden with salmon, golden fields of barley from which a whiskey coloured nectar can be made, green, lush, spectacular golf courses, coal in the ground, oil under the sea,...gas". "Hold up! Hold up!" interjected the bold Gabriel, "Are you not being too generous to these Scots?" Back come the Almighty's reply, "Not really, wait until you see the bloody neighbours I'm giving them!!!"
