Tried to fix your links so the images were displayed, but the links don't seem to exist at photobucket... |

Great photos, it's good to get pictures of the unveiling here.
There is a copy of this piper at Bruar in Perthshire. Is this the one you mean or is there another one in Couper? See the link below for the Perthsire one's unveiling:

A most striking figure.
What a difference to the piper "apparition" at Longueval. _________________

Here here.
Nice to see my old friend and colleague Dr Tom Renouf MM at the unveiling. He did the Breville one as Secy 51st HD Association. A good book on the Normandy events is The Spirit of Angus by Lt Col Macgregor available from the BW Museum.
