A lovely story set in Scotland. When Gregor is given a set of bagpipes he’s desperate to play them but he’s constantly told ‘you can’t play here’. His parents tell him to go outside, so he goes off into the countryside but is told by the fishermen that he’s frightening the fish, by the farmer that he’s disturbing the animals and then when he goes high up the mountain to play he’s chased off by a pair of golden eagles. Downtrodden and sad he falls upon a lovely house with beautiful gardens and he begins to play there. Gregor is welcomed with open arms to play his pipes by someone he recognises but doesn’t quite know who? Until that is, a few months later he’s invited to lead the bagpipes through Edinburgh. You’ll have to get the book to find out Gregor’s surprise! You’re in for a treat.
Young Gregor MacDonald is thrilled when he gets a set of bagpipes for his birthday. Now he can be just like Grandad. But each time he starts to play, an awful noise sounds, Honk-eeyyoww!
