The Gathering of the Clans is a fantastic book, not least for the details of the old pipers and their history in Cape Breton. The old Scottish names -  MacLennan, MacKinnon, Gillis, Chisholm, MadDougall, MacGillivray, MacKay,  MacLean, MacMillan, MacNeil - they are all here. The Gathering Of The Clans Collection is a book of pipe music complete with gracings, photographs and historical sketches compiled and collected in Nova Scotia by piper and teacher Barry Shears.
