  Bagpiper uniform is the No.1 Full Highland Dress at most weddings and events. The piper’s “No.1 Full Highland Dress” was originally worn by pipers of the historic Highland regiments. “No.1s” were then adopted first by the Govan Police, and when pipe bands took off in the early 20th century, by numerous other police, colliery and civilian pipe bands. Indeed, the No.1 Full Highland Dress was worn by virtually all Scottish pipers and pipe bands until the 1980s when the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band adopted “Day Dress” as their bagpiper uniform due to the No.1 dress being so heavy, impractical, and not to mention very expensive to purchase and maintain. However, as practical as Day Dress is, it provides nowhere near the visual spectacle as a piper dressed smartly in No.1 Full Highland Dress. Source: www.scottishbagpipers.com/bagpiper-uniform-tour/

Afternoon tea at Capalaba Creek 1918

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Capalaba, a suburb, is 20 km south-east of central Brisbane. It is situated on the eastern side of Tingalpa Creek, and it is probable that the bridging of the creek at Cleveland Road in 1874 stimulated the opening of the Capalaba Hotel a few years later. It is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word referring to a place of possums. A school was opened in 1880. Until the opening of the railway along a coastal route to Cleveland in 1889, the Cleveland Road was well used and the hotel and surrounding locality attracted farm selectors and timber cutters. With its being bypassed, Capalaba's growth stagnated, and its post office was reduced to a receiving office in 1892. Its census population in 1921 was 110. Source: www.queenslandplaces.com.au/capalaba
