Scotland - its cities, mountains, landscapes, wildlife, poetry, art and music is the theme of this collection of poems. From Glasgow to Aberdeen, from Skye to Lower Largo, Derek Alsop traverses the country, exploring its history, mythology and culture with a keen outsider s eye. What emerges is a land of incomparable richness, diversity and beauty. Whether the subject is the seals of Portnahaven or the birds of Jura, the whisky of Islay or the races at Ayr, Alsop finds his own view of Scotland. There are darker moments, too, as the violent history of Scotland reveals itself amongst the ruins, monuments and glens. Sian Hughes, winner of the Arvon International Poetry Competition and author of the prizewinning volume The Missing, has said: Derek Alsop is a well-respected teacher of poetry, and now it turns out he is also a very winning poet in his own right .

The Highland bagpipe, widely considered 'Scotland's national instrument', is one of the most recognized icons of traditional music in the world. It is also among the least understood. But Scottish bagpipe music and tradition - particularly, but not exclusively, the Highland bagpipe - has enjoyed an unprecedented surge in public visibility and scholarly attention since the 1990s. A greater interest in the emic led to a diverse picture of the meaning and musical iconicism of the bagpipe in communities in Scotland and throughout the Scottish diaspora. This interest has led to the consideration of both the globalization of Highland piping and piping as rooted in local culture. It has given rise to a reappraisal of sources which have hitherto formed the backbone of long-standing historical and performative assumptions. And revivalist research which reassesses Highland piping's cultural position relative to other Scottish piping traditions, such as that of the Lowlands and Borders, today effectively challenges the notion of the Highland bagpipe as Scotland's 'national' instrument. The Highland Bagpipe provides an unprecedented insight into the current state of Scottish piping studies. The contributors – from Scotland, England, Canada and the United States – discuss the bagpipe in oral and written history, anthropology, ethnography, musicology, material culture and modal aesthetics. The book will appeal to ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, as well as those interested in international bagpipe studies and traditions.
