Alasdair was my instructor at Balmoral. It was an honor to learn from a master like him. He is greatly missed.

Willie MacRae of Ullapool, Its in the Cabar Feidh Collection and it was his Father Norrie who wrote it

I believe Willie MacRae of Ullapool was written by Alasdair's father Norman.

THE greatest bagpiper alive today without a doubt. Too bad the sound quality of this video is poor. Thank you for sharing it with us, though.
