Revd Patrick Macdonald died. He was responsible for publishing an early collection of Gaelic melodies, Highland Vocal Airs, which he and his younger brother Joseph had collected. Patrick also published Joseph's bagpipe tutor, the first-ever comprehensive instructions on playing the highland pipes.
Facsimile edition of Highland Vocal Airs in the Whittaker Library at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Modern edition of Compleat Theory of the Scots Highland Bagpipe.
