Originally published in 1966, this groundbreaking work marked the first publication on the subject in over a century. Spanning a wide range of topics, it delves into the lesser-known genres of Gaelic song, explores the intricate world of bagpipes and their music, including the enigmatic subject of pibroch, the Ceol Mor or 'Great Music of the Pipes. It provides a comprehensive overview of fiddle composers and their compositions, as well as the revival of the Clarsach. Additionally, a chapter is dedicated to the vibrant music of Orkney and Shetland, featuring over 100 examples, many of which were previously unpublished and presented here for the first time. This remarkable book not only sheds light on the rich musical heritage of Scotland but also showcases the author's extensive collection and contributions to the field.
