On the subject of the pipes in the aftermath of the '45, I would recommend John G. Gibson's book, Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping, 1745 - 1945 ( McGill-Queen's University Press/ National Museums of Scotland, 1998) which comprehensively demolishes the myth that they were banned, and quotes in full the relevant legislation.  I've quoted a section from it in this thread:  MusicalBS: Bagpipes in America
