Originally published in 1975, and written by an authority on
Scottish music, this book traces the evolution of the bagpipe
whilst also narrating the fortunes of the ‘Great Highland
Bagpipe’ itself. Exploring history and archaeology of
civilizations as far removed from the Scottish Highlands as Egypt
and Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome this book offers a unique
full-length history of one of the world’s most interesting and
ancient musical instruments. Appendices list the bagpipes of other
countries and the materials used in the instrument’s manufacture
as well as a comprehensive bibliography.
