DID YOU KNOW: William "Bill" Millin, known as the "Mad Piper," was a Scottish bagpiper who famously played the pipes during the D-Day landings in Normandy.

He was the personal piper to Lord Lovat, the commander of the 1st Special Service Brigade. Bill was the only man to wear a kilt during the landings and was armed only with his pipes and a dirk.

Bill's extraordinary presence and the sound of the bagpipes on the beach, despite the intense gunfire, have become a symbol of courage and defiance during the Normandy invasion. Captured German snipers later stated they did not shoot him because they thought he was insane and suicidal, according to the British Army.

Bill Millin's actions at D-Day, particularly his unwavering spirit and the inspiring music he provided, are remembered as a powerful testament to the human spirit during the war.

We are incredibly proud to share one of our most meaningful projects to date: a brand new tartan created to celebrate and honour the diversity, strength, and community of autistic individuals.

Commissioned by Kieron Colville, this tartan marks the 20th Anniversary of Number 6, One Stop Shop for Autistic Adults, a vital service provided by Autism Initiatives Scotland. Woven into the design are 20 white threads, each representing a year of support, advocacy, and empowerment.

The colours were chosen through a community-led survey, ensuring the tartan truly reflects the voices and experiences of the autistic community. A striking yellow stripe symbolises "Au," the chemical symbol for gold, which is widely recognised in online autistic spaces as a proud shorthand for autism.

Launched during National Autism Acceptance Month in April, this tartan made its first public appearance at the inaugural Tartan Parade Scotland on Saturday. Kieron marched proudly with a banner featuring the design, and for us, it was a huge honour to see the tartan showcased in such a meaningful way.

It has been a privilege to bring this vision to life and to play a part in celebrating such an important milestone.

Another Scottish wedding coming up for me this weekend.

And, as usual, I’m looking forward to seeing men in kilts. But, I’m also fascinated by the variety of sporrans they choose. So many possibilities! From casual to dress.

And so many choices for each of the parts of a sporran.
