Like all the truly great pipers of the past, Donald  MacLeod wore his honours lightly and modestly.  He was always ready to help those less supremely gifted than himself.  A brilliant and prolific composer, he published six books of Ceol Beag as well as a collection of piobaireachd composed by himself. His compositions cover the whole range of pipe music, showing a remarkable inventiveness and originality.
