Love the video ! I’ve just created a channel so I can comment 😂. I’m new to the pipe smoking world and I find your posts hugely entertaining and enjoyable; and your pipe playing isn’t half bad either 👍. Your choice of Ardbeg 10 year old is superb, my personal go to favourite of all time ! As my dear old grandmother used to say before a sip of her dram, up yer kilt 🥃!!

Bag pipes are heavenly sounding.Thank you for making this day special by playing them to hear today filling the air around me. The Frog and Toad guest speaker, Robby Burns, reciting the rendition of "Flowers Of Scotland" was lovely to hear too. Thank you Mike for sending out some more smiles and laughter to be shared by you. A man and his pipe and memories are a wonderful thing.🐸🥃 Enjoyed you taking the time to video this!!👀☕🌄
