| The hornpipe Donald MacLeod comes from
the John MacFadyen Collection. Donald MacLeod was Pipe Major
of the Seaforth Highlanders and one of the most prolific composers this
century. He was also one of the most outstanding players ever,
winning the gold clasp at Inverness on eight occasions.
The hornpipe is followed by three typical pipe
jigs. Islay Charms is from the John Wilson Collection,
and Alina MacAskill is from the John MacFadyen Collection (mis-spelled
on the hard copy version of this as Alena MacAskill).
Dr. John MacAskill is a renowned gold medallist whose roots are in
Berneray, North Uist. Donnie MacGregor
is in the Gordon Highlanders Collection.
