Ghost piper of Duntrune

I deleted this whole section because it is false and is entirely borrowed from another place. Dunaobhaig Castle in islay. The piper either played deliberate mistakes or a tune that clearly warned Colla Ciotach who turned his galley around and sailed off. See page 10 Piper's Warning: https://www.piobaireachd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/frontmatter.pdf

There is another source that contains that story (though the castle isn't identified as Dunyvaig) from 1822, two years after the source you found, another story of an actual piper at Duntrune too; the piper was a servant of Nieloig Campbell and he was said to have been cut to pieces by the MacDonalds instead). The section should be re-added with more information and some corrections. Here is the source: https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Belle_Assembl%C3%A9e/FcARAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=ghost+piper+duntroon&pg=PA358&printsec=frontcover - The Mummy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.143.58.1 (talk) 14:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
