The glen collection of scottish dance music is a welcome source book for all with an interest in Scottish music. The books contain 292 selected tunes from Marshall, the Gow family, Mackintosh and others (all meticulously attributed), most of which are not available elsewhere. They also include Glen’s biographies of the composers and notes on the earlier collections and sources of the tunes. Scholars have long recognised the quality of Glen’s research, and his text is regregarded as authoritative
