AUGUST ORDERS

It's that time of year again, and we won't be shipping any orders for the next 3-4 weeks, because we'll be in Scotland attending events, having a holiday and also connecting with the World's best manufacturers to bring you the best of piping and pipe band products. No problem ordering on the site, but shipping won't happen until later in August.
