Scotch broth!

The pic on the left was taken by one of the local inhabitants in the area of Loch Laggan in Inverness-shire, wearing a kilt and piping. His old Grannie, who drank a lot of Scotch and watched a lot of television told him in a broad Scottish accent it was prrrobably Pickle and Pearrrl, but was she right...?
....it would appear not! The pic on the right was submitted by a couple of brash American tourists, both singers and dancers, who were looking for the village of Brigadoon. They were in Glencoe, when they came across this strange sight. The quality of the pic is poor as they were still using an old box Brownie they had arrived with sixty years ago and their beards had caught in the mechanism. The big question is.... who are these strange creatures and are they related to Pickle and Pearl?
