[scots-l] Cumbernauld House

[Richard Evans]

I've started playing this tune on Northumbrian Pipes, having found it in 'Bewick's Pipe Tunes', published by Matt Seattle. In his notes, Matt says that this version is similar to James Oswald's.
It sounds like a harp tune to me, and the title would possibly support that.
Is this right? Any further information much appreciated.
I've been playing it as an air- it's a beautiful, relaxed melody.

Cheers
Richard
