What do you mean to say there are those who don't love the pipes? The sound of the pipes becon us all to stop and listen. Those pipes are send a message, to opposing Armies that they are about to feel the wrath of the UK and Commonwealth of Nations flee before the field is crossed. They tell us to stop and pay respect to those they are harolding. Ahh the pipes the pipes are calling
