The Great Highland Bagpipe of John Morrison of Assynt House

The Lewis and Harris Piping Society had the pleasure of presenting a performance by Stuart Liddell on a set of pipes that once belonged to John Morrison of Assynt House, who was a seminal influence on P/M Donald Macleod MBE's early piping career.
Dating from the year 1843, this set of Great Highland Bagpipes was made by Donald Mackay, and the original authentic chanter was made by John Ban Mackenzie, another famous pipemaker from the 19th century.
The pipes are currently owned by Mrs Tabby Angier who brought them to Stornoway for the event for which the Piping Society are very grateful.
We hope you enjoy the unique sound of this ancient instrument.
