The pipes are calling.

Nothing is like the sound of the pipes massed.
Upon hearing them you must stand taller and straighter and walk with a sturdy and steady step, it's a galvanic body response in we Scots and can be learned (a Pavlovian) response in non-Scots.

Of course in some the galvanic response is abject terror (this is mainly an English affliction - but it was the Germans who coined the moniker 'Damen ab Holle' [Ladies from Hell] when referring to the Scots fighting to the swirl of the pipes).
