A recent post from a friend in Scotland states: "The Braes of Mellinish was composed by the late Pipe Major John MacDonald from Melness (Gaelic word is Mealainis), Sutherland. He was in the Scots Guards and was one of the youngest Pipe Majors ever to serve in the British Army." Yours aye, Tom Mungall Baton Rouge, La, USA
