STIRLINGSHIRE MILITIA. Scottish, "Rather Slow" Pipe March (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. "Stirlingshire Militia" was composed by Highland bagpiper Hugh MacKay (1801-1864).
Hugh MacKay (1801-1864) was born in the Reay country. He was a piper in the 71st Highlanders in 1830, and was Pipe Major from 1836-1851. After that, he went to the Stirlingshire Militia, from 1852 to 1864. He was a great march player who, with Angus MacKay, made the competition march what it is today. He composed many marches, including: “The 71st Quickstep” (made over from “The Ross and Cromarty Rangers’ Quickstep”), “The Stirlingshire Militia,” “The Craigs of Stirling,” "Angus Campbell’s Farewell to Stirling” and “Charles Edward Hope de Vere.”
The sixth march, “Donald Cameron,” has six parts. It was named after Seaforth’s piper when Hugh MacKay spent some time with him, while Seaforth was at Stirling Castle.[1]
