Dan's Castle
One of mine - I've had bars of this in my mind for years, and eventually got round to turning them into a tune. It's a four part jig in D Major within the limits of the Highland bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes and Border pipes.
Dan's Castle is the name of a pub and adjoining area in Tow Law,. County Durham (UK). The glamorous upland A68 road runs through the town, and formerly was used by drovers coming (as far as I know) from Scotland, so calling a bagpipe tune after the place might not be inappropriate.

A couple of bum notes as always - have corrected ABC's.

(Last bar of first part - the D should be an octave higher; fifth bar of fourth part - the high B should be an octave lower.)

(Sorry, I mean fifth bar of SECOND part...!)
