"Legend has it that a Scot family headed out onto the lake to make their way to Kincardine, but when the day turned into night and bad weather approached, the family feared they might not find their way. The father began to play his bagpipes and hearing the pipes out on the water a settler in Kincardine grabbed his pipes and began to pipe back, piping the family all the way into the safety of the harbour.
So to this day, upon entering the harbour at sunset, you will be piped by the phantom piper who stands atop the lighthouse at the entrance of the harbour." (copied from http://timetosail.blogspot.com/2006/08/well.html)
