November 30 is St. Andrew's Day in Scotland, and for the global Scottish diaspora.

How' bout some silly bagpipe cartoons to celebrate?

A personal note:

Years ago, The Hubby and I attended a jazz festival.

As we walked toward the site of the festival, we encountered the most beautiful bagpipe music.

We guessed that someone was practising in a nearby parking garage, and the music moved my soul unexpectedly.

I began to cry.

Not in sorrow, but like I'd come home; something familiar.

Never discovered the bagpiper, nor the song that was played...nor why there was bagpiping at a jazz festival.

A very unique moment for me.

St. Andrew's Day: Scotland

St. Andrew’s Day is celebrated each year on 30 November.

People across the Scotland gather to celebrate St. Andrew the Apostle, and share good times. 

The day is usually marked with a celebration of Scottish culture, including dancing, music, food and drink, with parties going on long into the cold winter night.

As I read and listen to audiobooks by Scot authors or authors who write about Scotland, I figured I should honor this holiday, with some memes.

Collected by me: a wee dafty, maybe a numpty, sure an eejit!😹

A short list of some favorite Scottish books:

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series

Marion Todd's Detective Clare Mackay series

Peter May's Lewis Trilogy

Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time series

Ann Cleeve's Shetland Island series
