Well, as with last year, despite having contacted the press about this event, very little actually appeared in print. This photograph appeared in the 'Scotsman' of 30th November in connection with an article about the celebration of St Andrew's Day.

Pipers from Stockbridge Pipe Band lead a St Andrew's Day march in Edinburgh. Attempts to make 30 November a national holiday are gathering support

The blurb reads "Pipers from Stockbridge Pipe Band lead a St Andrew's Day march in Edinburgh. Attempts to make 30 November a national holiday are gathering support." Poor, but better than nothing we suppose, in that at least the article acknowledges our efforts.
