Anyone out there have a recording of a Clan MacFarlane medley selection played around 1990? I'm looking for the one whose march-on is the four-parted hornpipe called "Emily Kate MacClellan" by Scott MacAulay. I know this medley was played at Maxville in 1990 (I was there), and they may have played it at the World's that year (don't know if they went). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Clan is the oldest form of association for mutual protection and for practical reasons of sharing history, power and resources. Long before the Lyon Court, there was the clan and although MacFarlane does not have a chief, that means little to those of us who call this clan family. Had you more an understanding of the basis and history of this clan, you would see that despite the best attempts to stamp it out of existence, it is still here and it is thriving. So your point is mute!

The Uilleann pipes are an off-spin of the Union Pipes. During the Renaissance era small pipes got popular and Highland Bagpipes became less common in Europe. Irish War Pipes have only two drones Seamus. This is Clan MacFarlane were posting on. We do not have enough stamps in our book to put critiques on here. All the best!

I laugh when people describe this as a Scottish instrument. This originated in Ireland, and the only reason the Scottish one is more popular now is because the English banned the "Highland Pipes" which were originally the "Irish War Pipes" in Ireland, which is why they invented the Uillean Pipes.
