Unfortunately, later in the day Richardson realised he had left his bagpipes near the front line while fighting. He refused to leave the pipes behind and went looking for them but was never seen again. The pipes however were found and are now on display in British Columbia.

James Richardson was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

There's more than just the usual suspects like William Wallace or Bonnie Prince Charlie, there are less famous figures like the Laird of Udny's fool, Earl Beardie and the Gaelic poet Mary MacLeod!

Enjoy a relaxing Sunday morning boat to Loch Coruisk on the Isle of Skye and watch me battling midges!
Thankfully those are now done for the year and it's safe to leave the net at home...

Here's one of my favourite, slightly bizarre, stories from my new book - Scotland's People.
It's the legend of Ewen of the Little Head and you might recognise Moy Castle on Mull as the book cover!
