Geocache Description:

If the wind was trying to whistle up yer kilt this would be a fine place to play.

Though it is the traditional music of the bagpipe, you have probably never heard a piobaireachd before. First, an explanation of the term: it is pronounced "peeb-roch" (almost rhyming with "rock" but with a hard H). The word piob means pipe, and piobair means piper, which when combined with the suffix "-eachd" yields the word piobaireachd, meaning "the art of the piper." Another name for piobaireachd is ceol mhor meaning "great music."

Our son plays the bagpipes and loves a piobairachd. We tease him that is sounds as though someone is walking heavy hearted through the fog dragging a case of beer. Enjoy the hide and if it is foggy imagine a piper standing behind you. You'll need a pencil after you find the film canister.
