Hector MacDonald, the legendary Scottish General who rose through the ranks from an enlisted Private to Major-General was destroyed by a campaign of whispers and character assassination by the English elite. A true hero.
This is drivel, Hector MacDonald was not character assassinated by the “English” elite, it was the “British” elite in Ceylon who made allegations against him.
What a treat! 12: 44 am in the morning here in Wellington, New Zealand, put on TH-cam and what have we here? The Man himself the Great Scottish piper Pipe Major Stuart Liddell. Always a pleasure to listen to a fine rendition by one of the world's Greatest Pipers, even during unsocial hours. Sleep is just so overrated!
Hector the Hero. Must be one of the most haunting Slow Marches. Would make the hairs stand on the back of your neck with the emotion Inveraray and District Pipe Band play it ...
