The Book of Mackay
None
Home
Built for the new age, the house stood boldly upright on the edge of the ocean withstanding the harsh blasts of a cruel century, nurturing and protecting the family within, watchful of hearts swollen or broken, dreams delivered and dashed. It had absorbed the tears and echoed the laughter. A sweeping saga of one family through a momentous century. Different people, divergent lives and distinctive stories. Bound together by the place they called home. But one of them is missing, lost to the world. An unknown grandchild, born to a son who went to war and never came back. As the years pass, through wars and emigration, social transformation and generational change, the search continues. And the questions remain the same: who is he? Where is he? Will he ever come home?

Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping, 1745-1945
The bagpipe is one of the cultural icons of Scottish highlanders, but in the twentieth century traditional Scottish Gaelic piping has all but disappeared. Few recordings were ever made of traditional pipe music and there are almost no Gaelic-speaking pipers of the old school left.

The Cordach Mackays From Coldbackie
Young children often ask their mothers: "Where do I come from?" And, so a journey of self-discovery begins. We want to know where our grandparents come from? Where and how they lived? This is the story of Ian Mackay's great, great, great, great grandfather, Hugh Coardach MacKay (Senior) and those that followed him. It is a journey of paternal ancestral discovery and an exploration of the lifestyles and personal interactions of these predecesors in and around the family's ancestral home in Scotland over the last two centuries. This is Ian's fifth self-published book. His fourth book, Mackay Family History, was a journey of nine generations of "Cordach" Mackays from northern Scotland in 1771, to South Africa in 1910 and to western Canada in 1995. Fittingly, this book, delves deeper into the Cordach Mackay heritage.
