The Wife of Auchtermuchty (words in Watson's "Choice Collection" or Ramsay's "The Ever Green", tune "Come Let Us A' to the Bridal", according to a source I have forgotten). Also this from a nineteenth century pipe tune manuscript. Why it was so renamed I have no idea.

Glenlivet: reel in Kerr's MM volume 1, also a not-as-interesting strathspey by Scott Skinner which for some reason he was insanely proud of. Glasgow: dozens, look at Charles Gore's index. Or pipe tunes like "Glasgow Week in Hamburg" (which should give guitar accompanists a rather interesting time...). Ullapool: I suspect you might have to look at Russian songbooks... =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
