Season 5 Episode 6: Kilts, Bagpipers and Living History. A Chat with Isaac Walters

Jeremy Kingsbury — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 02:00:00 -0500

On this week’s Episode I drink a bit of whisky and have a chat with Isaac Walters about kilts, tartan and a bit of myth busting about the Acts of Proscription. We also chat about the value of living history interpretation in general, and the material culture of great highland bagpipers of the 1790s specifically.

Tunes:

William Dixon: The New Way to Morpeth
James Aird: Johnny MacGill (Come under my Plaidy)
Donald MacDonald: Buckskin Kilt, The Wren’s Death, The Kilt is my Delight, Jenny Dang the Weaver

We discussed the Niel McLean Portrait briefly, but I didn’t use it as the cover art for the podcast, if you want to see it you can follow this link: I thought Niel won the first Bagpipe Competition held by the Highland Society in the 1780s, but looking through Angus MacKay’s notes on the subject I’m not seeing his name.
