“...a crofter’s son, began his military career as a private in the British army, and later became a Major General. Hector MacDonald fought in the Afghan war and both Boer wars.

It was originally from the opera ‘William Tell’ by Rossini, but was transcribed to the pipes in 1854 by P/M John MacLeod, after he heard it played by a Sardinian military band when serving in the Crimean War with his Regiment, the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders.”
''" Bram van Melle
14. Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound... These immortal words first penned in a poem by John Newton in 1772 became forever connected with the great highland bagpipe in 1972. That’s when the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards released their single on a late night radio station, it went on to reach Number One in the UK Charts, and became an international sensation overnight, selling over a million copies!
