Russell Young of Inverclyde Pipes and Drums will be out on the steps of the Wellpark Mid Kirk again this Friday at noon, just after the kirk’s clock has sounded, to play a selection of upbeat Scottish songs for the benefit of tourists and others passing though the square.

 

‘It’s a novel idea’ said organiser and Discover Inverclyde Director Chris Jewell, ‘but we hope this additional welcome to tourists, including those arriving on the Queen Mary 2 which is with us on Friday, will be enjoyed by those present and add a bit of colour to the square. Russell will be playing in full regalia and will be happy to pose for photographs with tourists who would like a photograph. He will be playing for about 20 minutes which will give the chance for many of the popular Scottish tunes to be heard and enjoyed.’
