Info

I was looking for this tune in books and online a few months ago and tried everywhere, including here. I finally gave up and just transcribed it off a fiddle CD. I thought I'd post it here since it was so hard to find.

It's a Donald MacLeod tune.

This tune appears on Capercaillie's album 'Delirium'.

Composer?

You sure this is a McLeod tune, borderpiper? As David says, it's on "Delirium", and it's also been recorded by Gordon Duncan. Both have the composer as one N.McDonald.

I could most definitely be wrong. I know it's on delirium but I've lost the insert for it. It was a mate that said it was a donald macleod tune. I'll stand corrected...

My reference to it being hard to find was refering to the dots.
