Lady Dorothea was the daughter of the Duke of Atholl. In 1909 she was offered a MS book by a Charles Mackintosh of Inver. She offered to pay for it whereupon the old man threw it in the fire. She rescued it. It was the Dixon MS. Matt puts the story in the intro to his book. Obviously she had a considerable music collection, which was donated to either Perth library or the NLS.

One of the more obvious limitiations of the mailing list format is the fixed line length. Some forums have the same problem. It would be useful if this information was posted on the NPS forum then it will remain available for future pipers Mike Quoting Julia Say : On 29 Jun 2011, Francis Wood wrote: The URLs are just fine.
