Glasgow, Scotland hosts the World Bagpipe Championships[*1]
The event began with pomp and circumstance yesterday, when massed pipe bands marched through the city centre to George Square, where they brought traffic to a standstill for half an hour as they played to an audience of 5,000 people.
Thank goodness they’re not calling it the Bagpipe Olympics.
