Based on a 'national collection of the national instrument' now
assembled in National Museums Scotland, this book offers an account
of the musicology of the bagpipe in its European context, including
the remarkable influence of the Baroque on Scotland's musical
traditions. The record is meagre for the evolution of the bagpipe
in Scotland and perceptions of the 'national instrument' have
depended on a stereotype Great Highland Bagpipe assumed to have a
continuous history from a distant past. The evidence, as far as it
goes, suggests that Scotland adopted a 'great pipe' from the
European bagpipe tradition and made it, through the strength of the
Gaelic language and its music, very much its own. This edition does
not have the accompanying CD-ROM of the first edition but is
otherwise unaltered.
