| What price, comes brilliance? RIP Alisdair. Had the privilege to meet and spend a post-Cowal session with him some years ago, listening to him play 2/4 marches on a borrowed set of pipes (resurrected by Don Bradford) for seemingly hours without repeating himself. Magnificent player. Friendly and sincere by nature. Such a waste and loss. Vale. |

| What a devastating and very sad loss this is to the piping world. I am sad in my heart as i knew Alistair personlay as a fellow competitior and a much admired friend. I am thinking of his wee Laddie and his Family at present and all i can do is offer my deepest and heartfelt sympathy at this time. His music and character live on. James Stewart |

| A great loss for all who knew him and for those who have been inspired and entertained by his music. I posted a short video clip on his Facebook page that shows how many of us remember his upbeat and outgoing personality. | |
