You Can't Play Here! (Picture Kelpies)

This is a humorous story about one boy’s determination in the face of adversity. Young Gregor MacDonald is thrilled when he receives a set of bagpipes for his birthday. Now he can be just like Granddad. However, each time he starts to play, an awful noise comes out―“honk-eeyyoww!” And each time, he hears the same angry cry: “You can’t play here!”

Poor Gregor goes from house to loch, to barn and to hillside, disturbing people until he finds acceptance in the most unlikely place.
