I was up on the bridge to watch a towboat go by. It was pushing several types of cargo. I was most interested in this one barge full of steel pipe. As several barges contained what looked like sand, I wondered if some of this boat's cargo was going to a fracking operation in eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia or western Pennsylvania.

Pipe bands are a long-standing tradition in Scotland and in other areas with Celtic roots. Many Scottish towns and villages, including those in the Scottish Borders, have pipe bands. The origins of the pipe band are obscure but many began in the military. The most common form of Scottish pipe band is made up with a section of pipers playing the great highland bagpipe and sections of snare drummers, tenor drummers and usually one, though occasionally two, bass drummers. The band follows the direction of the pipe major. When on parade the band may be led by a drum major, who directs the band with a mace. The music played by pipe bands generally consists of music from the Scottish tradition although some other pieces may be incorporated in the repertoire. Pipe band uniforms vary from band to band. However, the typical uniform consists of a glengarry or cap, shirt, tie, waistcoat, jacket, kilt, hose and dress shoes. Each pipe band has its own signature tartan that may reflect the area the band originated from or the history of the band. Competition is important to pipe bands and each summer many take part in Massed Bands where bands from all over march and play together. For over 25 years pipe bands from the Scottish Borders have met at Floors Castle in Kelso.
