| Meet The Highland Piper Liam Fox |
 |
| South Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland |
 |
 |
| One fine misty morning in July of 1999, Liam Fox picked up the practice chanter from the hearth of Clanranald Bed & Breakfast in Garryhallie just north of the Lochboisdale Ferry on South Uist. The MacDonalds of Clan Ranald take their name from Ranald, son of John of Islay, First Laird of the Isles. |
| And here you see the very hearth before which a piping career began, with the first notes of "Morag of Dunvegan." Liam wears the MacDonald of Clanranald tartan in honor of this hearth's Laird. |
 |
| But it was here at the Steadings, a small cottage on Gordon & Helen Grant's Achavaich Croft, on the Isle of Iona, that Liam's true love affair with the pipes began. |

| In 2002 Liam began studying the chanter with the Pipes & Drums of the Delaware Valley, out of Wilmington, Delaware. He went on the full pipes the next year, and marched with the band through the winter of 2005-2006. |
