TRADE Send me the name of pipe band patch and a brief
description you want to trade by e-mail. (A JPEG file would be helpful)
If I can use the patch in my collection, I will contact you and let you know
what items I have to trade. (I usually include a JPEG file) I only
trade one for one . However if I consider the patch to be highly
desirable I will consider other means of trading.
BAND DONATION OR PURCHASE Send me the name of pipe band
patch you have for sale by e-mail (A JPEG file would be helpful)If I
can use the patch in my collection I will contact you and confirm the price and
mailing my address.If you prefer a donation to your band I will do
also. Also if your pipe band has a web site that offers a patch for
sale, send the link and I post it on a future web page, "PIPE BANDS WITH PATCHES FOR
SALE"
GIFTS OR "FREEBIES" Yes , I do accept gifts or "freebies".
About 15% of my collection is obtained in this manner. Several pipe
bands that are no longer active or have been discontinued have donated their
patch so that a small part of the organization’s history might be
preserved and remembered through their insignia on this site.
QUOTES FROM THE FAMOUS AND THE INFAMOUS

carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made
object never equaled the purity of sound achieved by the pig."
.........Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)
"Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion."
-- Scottish Proverb
"Scotland’s great gift to culture was not only the bagpipes but the two
tunes that go with them." Dave Broadfoot (1925- ), Canadian actor, humorist and
writer
"If thy neighbor offend thee, give each of his children bagpipes"--Scottish proverb
"The height of a Highlander's happiness is twenty-four bagpipe players assembled
together in a small room, all playing at the same time different tunes."-----Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
