My first piping teacher, teaching me out of the College of Piping's Tutor, Vol. One, which starts you on Scots Wha Ha'e, which I suppose may be regarded now as the earlier Scottish national anthem, that perhaps STB should be called the Scottish national march.

It and AG are two tunes no piper should be allowed out in public without, both for reasons of popular request and that if you can play the standard setting of STB well, you've arrived at a good -- beginning -- technical standard of play and can at least hold your end up in a massed-bands set.
