John Grant's descendants

Published on Tuesday 8 December 2009 08:29

Dr. Alan Armstrong, professor of music, Mount Olive College Mount Olive, North Carolina, says: I am writing a biography of John Grant, Edinburgh resident throughout the 1900s-1950s; a tax-collector by occupation, but a well-known bagpiper and composer of bagpipe music, most notably "The Pipes of War" and "The Royal Collection of Piobaireachd." I am hoping one of his descendants will read this and contact me at [e-mail].

Is there a burning question about Edinburgh or life in the Capital which you want answered?

Maybe you have been searching endlessly for the right place to buy a special present or an unusual cookery ingredient. Perhaps you would love to trace an old school friend you lost touch with years ago, or maybe you have always been intrigued to know the history behind a local landmark.
