It seems Mcoustie was exiled some years previously because his playing of the pipes was so bad it gave everyone headaches. However Big Mac realises that he needs to make amends if the Piper is to be persuaded to take up his pipes and the Chief has to eat a large slice of humble pie as Mcoustie lists all his grievances. |

|
 |
Speaking through gritted teeth Big Mac praises Mcoustie's efforts to spread the sound of the pipes throughout the land and suggests, as a gesture of good will, that he play for Roms and Bits, as he likes to call them. After all it is said that Emperor Nero played the pipes and not the fiddle as Rome burned. |
