79th's Farewell to Gibraltar
A 2/4 pipe march which was in the requests list. Composed by Pipe Major J MacDonald, and I learnt this mainly at sessions in Edinburgh.

Farewell To Gibraltar
Very good rendition on an album by Phil and Johnny Cunningham which is called, I think, "Against The Storm". Phil plays it through on piano-accordion while a guest-player plays snare-drum, appropriately for a driving military march.
