The problem with Scotland is that the place is full of Scots!" - - Edward I.

NOT in 1897 it was!

From Commander Salamander and Fullbore Friday


"You have no idea."

"In the summer of 1897 tribesmen of the North-western frontier of India (now a part of Pakistan) began attacking and intimidating British forces in the area. The Indian Government decided that the unprovoked attacks by the Afridis and the Orakzais tribesmen could not go unpunished and decided that a show of force in Tirah, the tribe’s summer home, was appropriate."


Read the whole Commander Salamander blog entry. And thanks for the music too! Something very primeval about the pipes.
