About Bill Millin

His father moved the family to the Prairies, but returned to Glasgow as a policeman when William was three. He grew up and went to school in the Shettleston area of the city. He joined the Territorial Army in Fort William, where his family had moved, and played in the pipe bands of the Highland Light Infantry and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders before volunteering as a commando and training with Lovat at Achnacarry along with French, Dutch, Belgian, Polish, Norwegian, and Czechoslovak troops. The use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play.
