THE landscape of Glasgow Green looked very different last week as a giant 23ft piper mural, known as The Colossal Clansman, popped (or piped) up in the park.
The stunt launched Piping Live! Glasgow International Piping Festival, where it was announced the World Pipe Band Championships are returning to the city from August 7–13.
The world’s biggest week of piping will see more than 50,000 music fans, families and tourists flock to Glasgow to enjoy 200 events and 8,000 performers throughout the week.
