PIPE BAND RETURNS TO ITS ROOTS
THE Lord Selkirk Boys' Pipe Band, comprising Scouts from Winnipeg, visited Arbroath on Tuesday afternoon and played selections with the local band of the Royal British Legion Scotland.
The Canadian band visit Arbroath every time they come to Scotland in honour of their first Pipe Major, Bob Fraser, a native Red Lichtie.
The boys were staying at Stirling overnight.
The band wears the Ancient faded green and blue Douglas tartan of Lord Selkirk, a supporter of the Selkirk Settlers of Manitoba. In 1962, a tailor travelled from Edinburgh to Winnipeg to fit the boys for their initial purchase of kilts.
