With a catalogue of compositions to his name, Robert's first book was always going to be a success. It includes compositions that have become reliable favourites in the pipe band community at every level.
Much of the music contained in the book can be heard on 'From Celtic Roots' by Polkemmet Grorud Pipe Band and also influenced Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band in Robert's early days as Pipe Major.
