The National Trust for Scotland recently found some printing plates for a keyboard setting of the popular Scottish tune Kinloch of Kinloch<\/em> in one of its historic properties. Research is ongoing into the music they contain. I had a quick look for other piano settings and found this lovely title page from the Levy Sheet Music Collection\u00a0at the Milton S. Eisenhower Library of The Johns Hopkins University. This is\u00a0a very interesting collection beautifully presented online. Focused on\u00a0on popular American music spanning the period 1780 to 1960 there are many pieces of Scottish origin which can be located via the search facility. Others have illustrated covers and I am particularly taken by the cover of this publication from Philadelphia:<\/p>\n

I love the symbolism where the chanter of old John Anderson’s deflated bagpipe hangs limply down from the shelf on which the instrument is kept.<\/div>\n
