I thought from the sound of it he was going to play the theme from Xena, for a moment!

“It looks as if a Man could Toot himself to Heaven upon the Whore of Babylon’s Bagpipes”

This recording from Blowzabella’s early days of the well known “Bear Dance” is listed as “Bear Dance No. 3” - so is it the/a third recording of it, or are there two other Bear Dances that didn’t become popular? Anyone know?

This decorative initial letter J (it’s _inhabited_ because it has a person in it, _historiated_ as it illustrates a scene, and was used as a drop cap, the first line of the title starting between the piper’s feet.

Probably the rodents running around on the bowl of the J are black rats, by their shape and tails; common in Europe and carried the plague.

‘“Johnnie Cope” […] is the Highlanders’ war clarion, the tune that is played before battle, the wild music that is supposed to quicken the blood of the mountain man and freeze the foe in his tracks…’

—George MacDonald Fraser, “Johnnie Cope in the morning”, in McAuslan in the Rough, 1974

Hear it played by the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders here:

The Battle of Prestonpans was fought #OTD, 21 September 1745. The first major engagement in the Jacobite rebellion, Prestonpans was a stunning victory for the (mostly Highland) troops under Charles Edward Stuart. The song “Johnnie Cope”, composed very shortly afterwards, probably by Adam Skirving, exists in numerous versions & arrangements – including one by Beethoven – but it is originally a pipe tune.
