Immune to complaints?

Dear Editor:

RE: Local piper addresses noise complaints with sign campaign, Sept. 9.

I recall from decades ago when I was a piper in the Fergus Pipe Band that it was commonly understood that there was a unique bylaw in Fergus stating that the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes were immune to noise complaints.

The accuracy of that assumption was never challenged or put to the test over the years to my understanding.  The strong Scottish affiliation in the community conferred on the pipes a certain reverence, whether deserved or not.

Good for Peter in upholding this honourable tradition, as well as his honest attempt to placate the neighbour.
