David Rae is with Ellon & District RBL Pipe Band, and after many years of being involved in these Games, this was his last visit as a Drum Major, hence the honour of leading Drum Major for the march.

    I grew up in Toronto, Ontario with parents from Glasgow. Often times we would wake up to bag pipe music such as Black Watch or such. To this day I love the music and often brings tears to my eyes as I think of mom dad. My mom often at Christmas gave us a highland fling. Such great and fun memories. 🙋‍♀️🎶

    As an American many generations separated from my Scottish heritage, the sound of the pipes still thrill me. I have to think there is some hereditary marker in the DNA of descendants of the Scots that carry an abiding love for the sound of pipes. God bless Scotland!
