BAGPIPER TICKETED FOR HIS SGIAN DUBH

   Turns out the sgian-dubh isn’t such a big deal after all.
   The Montreal bagpiper who was ticketed by police for carrying the ceremonial knife will see the item returned to him and the case dropped.
   Jeff McCarthy announced the news Friday evening on Facebook.
   “Ticket cancelled. I’ll be getting my knife back,” he posted. “Prosecutor doesn’t want to press on with this. THE END. VIVE L’ÉCOSSE.” The post was punctuated with a symbol of the Scottish flag.
