    Its potent skirl is a symbol of Scotland across the world and can evoke the sound of a Highland breeze or rouse a regiment into battle.
    But new research claims playing the bagpipes could put the player's life at risk, by breathing in mould spores from inside the instrument.
    The wind instrument can harbour a host of fungi and mould inside its moist interiors that can cause "bagpipe lung".
    The warning came after a bagpipe player died of the chronic inflammatory lung condition hypersensitivity pneumonitis.


    Scan take note and make sure your instrument is cleaned regularly.

    I love the sound of the pipes and drums. Stirs my blood and sends shivers down my spine.

    Close mate but no banana.
