John McIntosh
I have a silver medal won by John McIntosh in the local Reel and Strathspey (sic) competition at Braemar in 1885.
Does anyone have information about John McIntosh? |

Re: John McIntosh
There are a couple of articles in 1890 editions of the P&J which mention a John MacIntosh as being piper to the Duke of Fife. In the the articles, MacIntosh is playing at the Braemar Ball.

Further to my previous post, the Duke of Fife appears to have had a number of pipers for many years the best known and his chief piper being Colin Cameron however there are mentions in newspapers from the 1880s and 1890s of a Piper John MacIntosh (of Mar....the Duke's estate) being one of them. These links contain a photo, purportedly of him - https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-du...109433287.html https://www.gettyimages.co.nz/detail...hoto/833086366 He may be the man listed in the census records as gamekeeper (?). |

Re: John McIntosh
What a great site this is - thank you Keith and Andrew.
The Scottish Pipers' Society (now the Royal Scottish Pipers' Society) silver medal is distinctive and there is no sign of it being worn by the piper in the linked pictures |
