THE BAGPIPES.
-
The history of the Scottish bagpipe, remarks a writer in a London paper, is recorded much earlier than the bottle of Harlaw, which, by the way, supplies the oldest regimental march in the British Army, amely, The Pibruch of Donuil Dhu." Who has not heard of the battle
Bannockburn in 1314, where the march of the Scuts was "Hey Tuttio Tuttle," the melody of which Roberi, Burus adapted to his soul stirring "Soota Wha Hac or of the famÕUS
of
The
pipo
Black
Chanter" of the Clan Chattan, preservi at MacPherson's Castle of Uluny, ralic of the famous fight on the North fach of Perth in 1896 ? But many more and earlier instances could be quoted.
Highland pipe does make all the running, but in quite the reverse manner ascribed to it. Anyone who has beard it, may at a church parade at York, Minster, to the organ accompaniment, will
agree with the writer that it does
with a
full harmonise or again, regimental band playing some such march as "The Barren Rocks of Aden" would welcome such a combination on the part of the Scots Guaris band and pipers. It would not only be a surpris- ing novelty to the Sassenach but a "pleasant surprise.
