Public Domain Tunes:
The following are scans of tunes from older
editions of bagpipe music (ie musical and typographical copyright have expired). I have
tried to select tunes of musical merit which would be of value to players today, and which
are not republished in the common editions of bagpipe music. Note: the manner of writing some of the doublings has
changed since these tunes were published! See Bagpipe Fingerings and Tune Settings.
