The 27-year-old Scottish musician Brìghde Chaimbeul is considered one of the most skillful and interesting bagpipe players in the world. Chaimbeul grew up a native Gaelic speaker on Skye, an island in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, in a family of artists. Since pivoting, as a teen-ager, from the Great Highland pipes to focus on the smallpipes, she’s won national folk competitions and released three solo albums (the latest, “Sunwise,” in June), but also made pilgrimages to places such as Bulgaria, where other pipe traditions have flourished; collaborated with the indie singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek; and played for a Dior runway show. “In doing so, she has redrawn the bounds of her instrument,” Elena Saavedra Buckley writes.

The Scottish smallpipe, which has roots that go at least as far back as the 15th century, was nearly lost to history. “These bagpipes had mostly been hidden away in the backs of cupboards,” the Lowland and Border Pipers’ Society journal explained in 1989, “or they had found their way, as curiosities of a former age, into museums, where they would lie dead and silent in display cases.” But, over the years, Scottish musicians advocated for smallpipes as a cultural corrective: something that could revive a lost, jubilant character of communal Scottish music, and that could help disrupt not only the regimented Highland piping culture but the kitschy idea of Scotland forged by English imperialism. Chaimbeul, lauded as a “musical genius” by her peers, is part of this lineage of bagpipe players who are luring tradition into the present. “It all stems from her tacit understanding of the tradition. It’s a kind of focus on the depth in our music, in which the layers of virtuosity are stripped away,” one of her collaborators said. Read the full story: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/YwJIJW

Five weeks on from Lewis Cuthbert being reported missing from Strathaven, officers are again appealing for information to help trace him.

Lewis, 25, was last seen around 4pm on Monday, 4 August, 2025, in the Lesmahagow Road area.

He is known to busk in Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres and is described as 5ft 10in tall, of slim build with short brown hair. He may have grown facial hair since he was last seen. He is believed to have been wearing a brown cord jacket with sheepskin collar when last seen and carrying a backpack with Bluetooth speaker and microphone.

A dedicated team of officers has been carrying out extensive enquiries in the areas he is known to visit, including Edinburgh and Glasgow.

CCTV footage has been reviewed, and over 100 homes in the Strathaven area have been visited as part of door-to-door enquiries.

Local officers are being supported by national resources, including specialist search teams, drones from the air support unit, as well as officers searching on quad bikes and using dogs.

Chief Inspector Paul Doyle, local area commander, said: “It has now been almost six weeks since Lewis was reported missing and we continue to work hard to trace him, using every resource at our disposal.

“Door-to-door enquiries continue to be carried out and officers will be in the Strathaven area this weekend while our searches are ongoing.

“We continue to urge the public to come forward with any information they may have. No matter how small it may seem, it may be key to helping us find him.”

Anyone who has any information should contact 101 quoting incident number 1371 of 8 August, 2025.
