  Mary Anne Alburger
  A history of the art, illustrated with photographs and music examples - giving over 100 complete reels, strathspeys, laments and slow airs.

Extended treatment is given to such outstanding composers as Niel and Nathaniel Gow, William Marshall, Simon Fraser and James Scott Skinner. The new public for this music, both inside and outside Scotland, will find this book especially informative.
