Description

The memoirs of John T. MacKenzie reveal a really remarkable man: a highly revered authority on highland piping with a commitment to tradition and excellence in performance.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, John T. was once a student of piping at age nine. Enlisted within the Scots Guards, he saw active service within the war zones of North Africa, participated within the Liberation of Norway and was once later posted to active duty within the Malaysian jungle. John T. MacKenzie bears personal witness to the horrors and valour of warfare. During, his devotion to highland piping remained, and is still, in the vanguard of his life.

Appointed personal piper to the Royal Household in 1946, John T. MacKenzie has piped at a large number of ceremonial events in Europe and North The us. His recruitment as a Pipe Major to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1952 brought him to Canada, and in the long run to Glengarry County, where his contributions to piping are legendary.
