Scottish Bagpiper In U.S. On Charity Mission

Philadelphians are getting treated to the sounds from an authentic bagpiper this week.

Rob Calder is a 32-year old bagpiper from Edinburgh. He is in the United States pounding the pavement with his bagpipes to raise money for charity. Calder calls himself the "Bagpipe Busker."

Calder is raising money for ECAS. The charity provides practical help to the disabled. Calder hopes money raised during his six-week U.S. tour will provide swimming, sailing, and other lessons to the disabled.

Calder says so far, "people have been fantastic in Philadelphia." The traveling bagpiper is relying on the kindness of locals and people of Scottish decent to host him.

 

 

Calder showed off his pipe skills on "Good Day Philadelphia."
