The Highland bagpipe has long been a central strand of Scottish
identity, but what happened to the Highland bagpipe in the two
centuries following Culloden? How was its music transmitted and
received? This study presents contemporary evidence and uses a
range of methods to recreate the changing world of the pipers as
they influenced and were influenced by the transformation in
Scottish society. This book is intended for pipers exploring the
achievements and musical concerns of their predecessors; for the
general reader interested in a music whose history is akin to that
of Scotland's poetry and song; and for all students of the process
of tradition.Combining newspaper and manuscript evidence from the
pipers themselves with a wide range of historical sources, the
author harnesses the insights of the practical player to those of
the historian and provides a fresh account of the players and their
musical traditions, which have previously been the subject of much
myth-making. This is the first history of the musical culture of
the worldwide piping community.
