SIR BRUCE SETON, Bart., of Abercorn, C.B. AND Pipe-Major JOHN GRANT WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY NEIL MUNRO, BOYD CABLE, PHILIP GIBBS, and Others GLASGOW MACLEHOSE, JACKSON & CO. PUBLISHERS TO THE UNIVERSITY 1920 Wherever Scottish troops have fought the sound of the pipes has been heard, speaking to us of our beloved native land, bringing back to our memories the proud traditions of our race, and stimulating our spirits to fresh efforts in the cause of freedom. The cry of "The Lament" over our fallen heroes has reminded us of the undying spirit of the Scottish race, and of the sacredness of our cause. The Pipers of Scotland may well be proud of the part they have played in this war. In the heat of battle, by the lonely grave, and during the long hours of waiting, they have called to us to show ourselves worthy of the land to which we belong. Many have fallen in the fight for liberty, but their memories remain. Their fame will inspire others to learn the pipes, and keep alive their music in the Land of the Gael. D.
