In honour of International Bagpipe Day, here is today's fun fact!
Did you know that...
"Pipe-Major Archie Dewar is synonymous with the Pipes & Drums of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, which he led from 1952 to 1965. He succeeded Pipe-Major James Fraser, also a legend, and such was the significance of the band that the passing of the leadership was broadcast live nationally on CBC Radio. ” (Unknown, 2017)
