I thought I'd start by publishing that awesome photo that is believed to be Alexander Glen with son
David. Not only do we have difficulty authenticating this picture but we have equal difficulty identifying
Alexander's bagpipes. The following pictures are said to be Alexander Glen bagpipes.

Reaching back this far in time is not without its risks or rewards. Through a network of very good
and interested people the following information and pictures were brought to me. The piper is George
MacDonald and the picture was taken in the 1930's and is authenticated by a descendant. The pipes were
said to have been made by Alexander Glen in 1847 and was purchased by MacDonald in 1920. They are made
of cocus wood and walrus ivory.
