“There can be only one”….you immortals are all the same. Good on you for having an 1838 Angus MacKay!! Mine is a mere reprint from the 70s, and I am a mere mortal.

Thanks, Iain. I don’t recall where I got hold of the copy I own. When I next quote from my copy of Angus Mackay’s 1838 book the cat will be out of the bag: I’m 206 years old. Mike

The College of Piping re-published the guide a year or so ago, along with some recent articles, views, etc. All-in-all, worth the read. I still have my original edition, too. I didn’t think you were that old Mike?!

That is one heck of a reference. Really interesting to see how well this passage holds up today.
Thanks for sharing this one. It gave me an odd and increasingly rare burst of inspiration, which I’ll try to milk for all it’s worth.
