You would definitely remember. The service begins with bagpipes played outside the open doors to the narthex. At the conclusion of this magnificent music, the colors are paraded inside, each held high on a staff and preferably carried by a representative of that particular clan. The enormous staffs, with their large clan colors, are then arrayed in stands across the front of the sanctuary where they will remain throughout the service. All hymns on that day are of traditional Scottish origin. Early in the service a Scottsman—it wasn’t always the same person—went to the pulpit and explained the history of the tartans. It was memorable.
