| Summary | "The Lost Pibroch and Other Sheiling Stories" by Neil Munro is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into Scottish Highland culture, highlighting the lives, traditions, and music of its people, particularly focusing on the art of piping, which serves as a central theme throughout. The tales are rich with folklore and character, featuring elements of both history and mythology as they unfold. At the start of the first story, "The Lost Pibroch," the narrative introduces the art of piping, emphasizing the journey and dedication required to master it. We meet a group of pipers in a secluded Highland township known as Half Town, where they gather for music and camaraderie. Among them are Gilian and Rory, who seek out Paruig Dali, a blind piper rumored to possess a legendary tune—the Lost Pibroch. This search leads to a celebration of song and stories, as the pipers reminisce and aspire for deeper connections to their heritage and craft, setting the stage for a tale woven with themes of longing, tradition, and the transformative power of music.
