Piper MacKay and his cousin visited Canda's north. While there, they were totally impressed with the Northern way of life. After witnessing throat singing, and Inuit drumming, they played a few tunes on their bagpipes. The Inuit were very impressed.
The next day, the two pipers were invited to try out the Inuit's special form of boat, the two-person kayak. They didn't quite know how to row it, so they didn't get too far when night fell, and they were not really dressed for sub-zero nighttime temperatures. Sitting in the kayak, many miles from the shore, and drifting, the two Scottish pipers grew incredibly uncomfortable, so they lit a fire in the craft.
Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
(Luckily, the flames were seen by an Inuit family passing by in their umiack, who picked them up and brought them to safety. Otherwise, these Piper MacKay stories would have to come to an end!)
