Pibrochs and Poppies
Together with the local traditional music group Feis air an Oir we are researching pipers from Mackay Country (north west Sutherland) who were involved in World War One. We are exploring the effects of WWI through music and are identifying tunes composed by Mackay Country pipers which the young musicians are learning. A new composition written by Carol-Anne Mackay to commemorate the men will be premiered at the Durness Highland Gathering on the 24th July 2015.
