An important bit of advice when discussing Royal Compositions,
is NEVER EVER CRITICISE THEM!
This is because you never have any idea who wrote the things....

There were two pipers called William Ross. The first was piper to
Queen Victoria from 1854-1891; Edward VIII, as he became, was born
three years later. The other Willie Ross was a top player from
before
WW1 to after WW2, and was for many years the chief instructor at the
school of piping. But he was never a piper to royalty.
Edward VIII was taught the pipes by Henry Forsyth, the sovereign's
piper from 1910aEUR"1941. If anyone helped the prince polish
Majorca, PM
Forsyth is surely the prime suspect
