The Pipes and Drums of the London Scottish Regiment

So as it says on the tin above, I have recently been going along to the London Scottish Pipes and Drums.

They practice in Horseferry Road Westminster where they have an impressive hall. Here is the floor of the entrance.

There is a fire place surround that is a WWl memorial. Of course when I say fire place surround I mean I think it started out that way and wound up being...Well, more of a wall with what I calculate to be 1200 odd names on it. With two Hays and a Crawford. (no wightman's).

A little boring history for you the London Scottish regiment was the first TA regiment to hit the trenches of WW1(Messines Oct 1914 1st Battalion) were they sustantined 394 casualties (including 4 Pipers) only one piper remained after 6 months out of the original 11. They then decided to take band members out of the line.

I only had my cell phone camera with me so the pics are a little bad sorry.

There is also a wall of clan plaques. So I took some pics of that two. Can you spot the one in the middle.

Last Thursday they had a group of visitors so the band paraded in "day wear" (basically dressed up but any kilt you like) here is a very short video of that.

I'll try and keep you updated with what happens here.
