Donald MacKenzie’s Bagpipe

I received words and pictures of Donald MacKenzie’s bagpipe last night. Donald was John Ban MacKenzie’s son and served in the first Crimean War. He died in 1863 at the age of 30 from smallpox and is commemorated in John Ban’s composition “His Father’s Lament for Donald MacKenzie”. Pictures and words can be found at this link (Donald MacKenzie’s bagpipe) This is a very significant historical treasure.
