PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPONS

Hi Andrew!
Actually I'm not, but my great grandparents were Highlanders from Skye and Jura...and my wife insists that I get very different when I get my hands on the Drambuie...and on our first date...the bagpipe music I put on had anything but the desired effect I planned !

Miraculously she stayed with me anyway

Excellent points about the battle cries, which of course were used with great effect by the Scots as well as they charged. In the South, the Rebel yell was pretty well known in The War Between the States (as I was always corrected when I lived in Nashville and mentioned what I called The Civil War).

All very best regards,
Jim

If I understand right, the Apache were freaked when they first saw wild men wearing women's dresses torturing small animals in their arms. Their first meeting Scottish pipers in combat.

LOL!!! Thats fantastic Jose!!

I burst out laughing reading that , my wife came in to see what was up!
Funny, I'm in Apache country right now (just north of Sonora, Mexico in Douglas, AZ) and last night I was watching "Braveheart", which coincidentally came on TV while I studying more on Scottish history.

Thanks so much for that!

All the best,
Jim

I FOUND A SITE WITH THE HISTORY OF THE BAGPIPE www.music.iastate.edu/antiqua/bagpipe.htm

I HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY GROUP OTHER THAN THE HIGHLANDERS USING THE PIPES, BUT ITS HISTORY GOES WAY BACK THEY EVEN SAID NERO COULD PLAY ONE BUT IT GOES WAY BACK BEFORE THAT. I HOPE THE LINK WORKS IF NOT SEARCH FOR BAGPIPE AND LOOK FOR IT THERE, IT IS THE ONE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BAGPIPES. THE LINK WORKS YEA!!
