A great source of the history of the pipers who shaped the music of the pipes. Seumas MacNeill relates the history with the facts as they existed at the time and with ardor for the instrument. The chapters include the early MacCrimmons, through the beginning of the literate era and Angus MacKay to more recent giants, Willie Ross and Robert Reid. The book is a great source for anyone wishing to sit for the piping certificates. This is a paperback edition.
