Eaglesham Moor Bag-Pipers by Motorhome, Motorhome Hire, Campervan rental

Piper David Wilton plays at the switch on of Whitelee Wind Farm
Europe’s largest onshore wind farm. The Farm will power 180,000 homes

Scottish Power Pipe Band

The visitor Centre is only 20 minutes from Glasgow
Whitelee has lots to offer for visitors of all ages
Located on the edge of Europe’s largest Windfarm
The Centre is the access point to over 90kms of trails
For cycling walking and other outdoor activities

Look at what the wind has blown in! The Motorhomers had stopped off at the Visitor Centre;

‘Josie, the big whirlygigs are no’ goin’ roon’ an’ roon’ today
Why is that, Josie, an’ whit are a’ thae Bag-Pipers daein’ here?’

‘Aw, so ye’re goin’ a’ green today, Francie
Ye’re wantin’ tae test my environmental mentality, dae ye?
Well, Francie, as ye can see, there’s nae wind blowin’ today
Scottish Power are tryin’ oot a wee experiment
Tae see how many Bag-Pipers it takes tae generate enough wind
Tae turn ane o’ thae big whirlygigs
The Pipers have been telt tae blow their brains oot
Until either ane o’ thae big whirlygigs starts tae turn
Or a’ the Pipers’ bags have bursted, ye know, Francie’

‘Sure, Josie, sure, Josie’

Chris Hoy, shooting the breeze with Heather Reid

Heather wi’ the weather

‘Hullo there’ she says tae me as I’m sittin’ doon tae take my tea
Abune her croon her hair sae broon
Her eyes as bricht as the peacock’s feather
Fair skinned or bare skinned I dinnae mind the lassie lookin’ in oan me
She’s my teatime treat a richt wee sweet
She’s my bonnie Heather wi’ the weather
‘The wind’ she says ‘is gonnae be severe’
An’ I can hear my ould belly rumblin’
Fu’ o’ cockaleekie soup an’ cabbage an’ neeps
An’ a steak that is tough as ould leather
The wife says tae me ‘that’s the last time that ye’re
Gonnae hae spicy apple crumblin’’
I couldnae haud it in I had tae let it oot
Phew! My bonnie Heather wi’ the weather
‘For gowfers doon in the toon o’ Troon’ she says
‘Ye can put yer brollies doon
The sun’s here tae stay fermers are at the hay’
Sure she’s a richt wee blether
A lad in a pool drooked like a fool says
‘I’m getting’ oot o’ this afore I droon’
There’s jist nae way they can blame their day oan
My bonnie Heather wi’ the weather
‘Hail, rain, sleet or snaw, specially in the East o’er in Kirkcaldy
Mair o’ yer mist an’ yer hoar an’ yer dreich
Hae a wee rub o’ yer lucky white heather’
Go oan my wee lassie let it a’ oot go oan bonnie lassie gie them laldy
Ne’er a day passes I reach for my glasses tae see
My bonnie Heather wi’ the weather
