One or two firms in London profess to be makers, but they either make very little or get the instruments from Scotland. There are no makers abroad, but a large trade is done by Scottish makers with colonial customers. The following is a list of all the makers of any professional standing:— ABERFELDY— Gavin Mac Dougall. DUNDEE— David Thow, 45 and 47 Gellatly Street. EDINBURGH— John Centre & Sons, 12 Grove Street. David Glen, 8 Greenside Place. J. & R. Glen, North Bank Street. J. & W. Hutcheon, 3 Niddry Street. GLASGOW— Peter Henderson, 100 Renfrew Street. Robert Mac Kinnon, 59 Renfrew Street. VI.—THE LARGEST KNOWN LIST OF PIBROCHS. The following list of pibrochs, which is the index to Major-General Thomason’s _Ceol Mor_,[18] is the most complete that has ever been published. With the exception of three new tunes included in _The Music of the Clan Mac Lean_, and one or two others, it contains all the pibrochs known to present day players, while the particulars as to composers’ names and dates of origin are more full than anyone else has attempted:— Footnote 18: See page 110.
