"Scotland the Brave"
"Champion Liston was piped into the ring by a woman's pipe band to the tune of "Scotland the Brave"...
"He (Liston) admitted afterwards that never in his fighting career had he received such an ovation..."
"After shadow boxing, three rounds of sparring and two skipping rope to "Night Train" the massive champion was presented with a set of bagpipes by promoter Peter Keena. With a wide grin he proceeded to blow up the pipes and managed to get a couple of notes off as the crowd roared their approval. "
"The World Champion was very taken with the water in Scotland, but said that the Scots spoilt it by putting whisky in it."
