Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping from 1745 to 1945 - Books on Scotland Author:John Gibson An interpretation of the decline of Gaelic piping, attributing it to the dramatic depopulation of the highlands in the 19th century.

He argues that these anachronistic cultures form a link to the Scottish culture.
