Quote:
A small pipe band has been ordered to stop practising outside by a council.
Newtonhill Pipe Band's pipers and drummers - aged from 11 to 75 - use the grounds of the local school in Aberdeenshire.
However, members were "shocked" and "amazed" to be told by Aberdeenshire Council they should practise inside.
A council spokeswoman said: "The use of external areas is not permitted as this clearly causes a nuisance for neighbouring residents."
She explained: "We are aware of the issues with Newtonhill Pipe Band practising outside Newtonhill School as we have received complaints from residents who live in the area.

I bet all the complaints come from the English Settlers
My sister stays there and she has no complaints about them, in fact she says she only heard them once on a still night. She is only 150 yds away. _________________

Aye they could, but they have to get to the top first.
When they were up they were up and when they were doon they were doon...
and when they were only half way up they were nither up nor doon!
They could always march to the bottom o' the hill and jump aff the cliff, that would keep abody happy _________________
