In the words of Victorian author, Amelia Murray MacGregor:
William Ross (1823 1891): Wearing a kilt of Royal Stewart tartan, with a banner embroidered with the Royal Arms of England. In the background a view of the East Terrace of Windsor Castle. An expert on pipe music, Ross often adjudicated at Highland Gatherings in Scotland and abroad. He ran a bagpipe business in London and had special permission to live outside Buckingham Palace. In 1876 he published a collection of pipe music, the result of thirty years of research. It contained nearly 400 tunes collected from Scottish and Irish pipers and opens with his own Prince Consorts Lament. Ross was still in the Queens employ at the time of his death.
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this print will be donated to The Scottish Tartans Authority.
