Scottish monomaniacs will like the incessant squirl of bagpipes, but most people tend to get very tired very quickly of this form of background music. Yet all of these grade B effects are eclipsed and submerged in the brilliance of Guinness and Mills. They could play their parts on a bare stage and still be magnificent...
