More Info & Booking

Richard McLauchlan is a writer and piper who has written the first accessible cultural history of this iconic instrument, in which he investigates how a ‘national instrument’ can shift its meaning and identity – from inspiring terror on battlefields to enriching cultures worldwide. As Piping Press said ‘this is the book I am giving to every person I know who expresses even the slightest interest in piping and the pipes’.
