Should you be a man desiring to wear a skirt, then you'll definately feel at home in Scotland. As long as you don't mind wearing plaid, that is. All kidding aside, something that most people don't know about is a local Pipe band that plays in Inverness at the downtown courtyard every Tuesday evening at (I believe) seven pm. I did not see a mention of it in any of the tourist brochures and while it was fairly crowded, it was not overrun with people like a normal 'tourist event' would have been.
I must thank the proprietor of our bed and breakfast for letting us know about the event. :-)

The Black Isle is situated on the opposite side of the Moray Firth and can be reached by a bridge. When we visited Inverness in August 1998 the Black Isle Show took place with exhibitions of farm animals in all shapes and forms. I never knew that sheep came in so many variations. There were also sheep dog trials and a dog show where proud owners paraded their pets.

I really don't know if it is a local custom or not to find pipers in the streets, but it's very nice.
