*** Legenday Bagpiper on 78 ***
Bagpipe solos by a legendary figure in Scottish Music.
William Collie Ross (1878 - 1966) was born on 14 June 1878 at Ardchuilc in Glen Strathfarrar. He was taught by his maternal uncle Aeneas Rose, piper to the Duke of Atholl, but also received tuition from both his parents, in addition to taking lessons at Blair Castle during the school holidays.
At the age of 18 he joined the Scots Guards, and fought with the 1st Battalion in the Boer War from 1899 to 1902. In 1905 he became
Pipe major of the 2nd Battalion, at the age of 24.
In 1919 Willie was made Instructor at the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming at Edinburgh Castle, where he taught
hundreds of pupils, including almost all the top players produced by the army. Among his most famous students was John D. Burgess,
who he taught as a private pupil from a young age. Burgess won both gold medals at the age of 16, and went on to become one of the
most successful competitive pipers of the 20th century.
Ross died in Edinburgh on 23 March 1966, aged 87. There is a memorial cairn near the house he was born in, which is now a ruin.
