A world record was broken a few days ago in Melbourne when 374 pipers played a song together.
No, it wasn't "Scotland the Brave," because this isn't Scotland, it's Australia, where they all know Bon Scott's bagpipe part in the AC/DC song "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)." The record hasn't been confirmed and posted yet, but the previous record was 333 pipers, set in 2012 in Bulgaria.
The story of how the song was first recorded is well worth a read, too.
Hadrian's Wall was a bloody good idea.
