A Tartan Souvenir Moment

A woman inspects a set of playable junior bagpipes that her husband bought in a nearby tourist store near Edinburgh Castle, Scotland.

She smiles, but I’m not sure if she’s happy. 😉

Did you know, the bagpipes, often considered Scotland’s national instrument, actually have ancient origins that trace back to the Middle East before finding their iconic home in the Highlands?

Very late getting to see this, but just booked us tickets to see the Tartan exhibition - in its final week! - at the V&A Dundee next week. We will be in the city centre that morning for my first shingles vaccine. https://www.vam.ac.uk/dundee/whatson/exhibitions/tartan #Tartan #Scotland #Dundee #Tayside #Costume #Fashion #Clothing #ScottishHistory #ScottishCulture #Museums
