 Climbers found a [a href="vny!://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1776987,00.html"]piano on top of Ben Nevis[/a], Britain's highest mountain, while on a trip to remove litters and stones from the summit:[/p]    [blockquote][em]"Our guys couldn't believe their eyes," said trust director Nigel Hawkins.[/em][/p]    [em]"At first they thought it was just the wooden casing but then they saw the whole cast iron frame complete with strings. ... [/em][/p]    [em]"We have a constant battle against litter being left on Britain's highest mountain - but this elevates being a litter lout sky high into a completely different category. We are now trying to track down who took it there.


[/em][/p][/blockquote]  When the news broke, [a href="vny!://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/highlands_and_islands/4994552.stm"]Kenny Campbell[/a], a former Highland Games athelete claimed responsibility:[/p]    [blockquote][em]He said: "I carried an organ weighing 226lb to the summit and played Scotland the Brave on it and I had some Norwegian tourists who were up on the summit and they were dancing."
