  • Interesting to hear. Neil Sutherland of Lairg was my grandfather. Blind Archie was a frequent visitor to his house. Stories say that Neil would pay for Archie’s entry fees into competitions and then make bets on the placements. They did quite well as Archie was a formidable competitor.

    • That’s a good story Ward! Thanks for sharing. Blind Archie’s son Alex visited a Toronto gathering back in 1984. Alex of course left Scotland and came to Montreal quite early on. When Archie rattled off the top pipers he new in North America Neil Sutherland was one of them. JM
