The Cobourg Legion Pipes and Drum Band are continuing their tradition of piping the sun down. Once again this year in July and August, a lone piper will be piping at sunset on the East pier on Thursdays through Sunday. They avoid Tuesdays and Wednesdays when there are concerts in the nearby Victoria Park. The video below shows highlights of piper Ross McKie’s performance tonight from about 8:35 pm to around 9:00 pm when the sun went down although clouds covered it so Ross relied on the scheduled time and the fact that it was getting dark. As the days progress, the time of sunset will be earlier. Although there were few people watching, those that were there seemed to appreciate Ross’s effort.

We are so happy to hear the pipes resonate over the harbour. Look forward to every sunset.
