To Make a Piper . . .
'To make a piper go seven years….. and at the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley with the old folks of old affairs. Playing the tune of the 'Fairy Harp' he can hear his ancestors plaided in skins, towsy-headed and terrible, heaving at their sodden oars or snoring in their hidden caves. Playing 'The Desperate Battle of the Birds' he will see the white-haired sea-rovers on the shore and a red stain on the edge of the tide. Lingering over a lament he can stand by the cairn of Scotland's past kings, ken the colour of Fingal's hair and see the moon glint on the sickle of the druids. This truly is music to stir the blood and reach the inner soul of man !'
