Extract
In digging up the foundations of the Prætorian camp at Richborough, was found a small Bronze Figure of a Roman Soldier playing on a pair of Bagpipes, which Mr. King, in his Munimenta Antiqua, Vol. II. p. 22, Pl. XX. tells us was presented to him by Mr. Boys, and that he has given three views of it, as an instrument of music borrowed by the Scots from the Romans, in the manner they did the plaid, and the mode of wearing it, from the toga.
