Project Manager Noting The Tradition The National Piping Centre 30-34 McPhater Street Glasgow G4 0HW [email protected] Copyright The National Piping Centre 2012 This is an interview for ‘Noting the Tradition’ conducted in the BBC studios, Glasgow on the 30 th April 2012. The interviewer is myself, Jonathan Graham, and I’m interviewing Iain MacInnes. So thanks for speaking to me, Iain, today. That’s quite all right, Jonathan. It’s nice to see you. Aye, you too. So I just really want to go from the start, start at the beginning. Right. So how did you get into piping? Well, that is quite a long time ago. I actually grew up in the Far East, out in North Borneo and Brunei, so there wasn’t much piping to hear out there. Brunei at that time was a British protectorate semi-colony, my father was a Director of Education out there, but because it a British Protectorate, British Army regiments used to come through occasionally and we used to see the Gurkhas and they also had a pipe band. And I remember one year the Queen’s Own, or possibly they were still the Seaforth, this was back in the sixties, they came through, which caused great excitement because my parents were both from the Isle of Lewis, the village of Gravir on Lewis, so the Seaforth’s or Queen’s Own, probably as it was, I can’t quite remember when the Seaforth’s amalgamated to become the Queen’s Own, their pipe band came through and there were loads of people from Stornoway in Brunei at the time.
