Heritage Fridge Magnet Scottish Piper 0919
Ref: 0919
A quality heritage fridge magnet, designed, carved and handcrafted in Great Britain.
It features a Scottish Piper. Bagpipes are one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, with Scottish Bagpipes believed to date from around 100 AD.
They are the only musical instrument ever to be banned as a weapon. Playing of the bagpipes was banned in Scotland by an Act of Parliament in 1747, after the last Jacobite Rising. Since no clan ever went into battle without a piper, bagpipes were banned as a weapon of war.
Scottish Pipers today are famous worldwide for having led Scottish regiments into battle over the last 2 centuries, and have been immortalised in paintings, music and film.
The magnet comes comes on an attractive display card which details the history of the design on the reverse, and will make a lovely little gift and memento for anyone with a love of Scotland.
