A visit to Mrs Fiona Johnston last week yielded some interesting and important additional information and memorabilia on the life and times of her uncle P/M Donald Maclean of Lewis, and this has been added to our Famous Pipers column. We are grateful to Mrs Johnston for her assistance.
Congratulations to Gary Nimmo, Ullapool schools instructor, who has taken over the Bagpipe Specialists Highland supply company from Alison Sinclair. We wish Gary well in his new venture and continued success with the school band. Read about Gary and the band in the October 2014 Pipe Band magazine.
