This is one of my absolute favourites!!! Lovely backstory. The of course with a superb descending figure has to be Donald Maclennan’s Tuning Phrase. Another MacLeod powerhouse!
What a cracking good tune eh , and so beautifully played Finlay. Thanks for sharing that . Donald McCloud wrote some seriously fine tunes, aye ,but this one , such a beauty. Cheers man.
Great tune well played. Thanks. I knew Duncan Johnstone. If I remember correctly, he came from 'The Glen' in Castlebay, Barra. I met Donald a couple of times in the pipe shop in Argyle Street in the early 70's: always a gentleman.
Great to hear the story. I also spent a number of years in the 'back room'...the craic was as good as the tuition... Duncan was a huge inspiration to me in terms of composition and playing 'music'...as opposed to competition...!
I love this series, this was always one of my favorite tunes.

Amazing tune 🎉❤
Makes my heart feel good.
I am taking that up, or. Composing
Duncan made "Lament for Alan, My Son," the greatest piob ever.
'Donald was sat' whit tense is this?
Love that tune! One of my comp hornpipes. Where did you get that crackin' chanter?
Would you mind demonstrating that high A striking on the last line?
Who makes that chanter?
That is a brilliant tune! Could you give any guidance on which books to find the sheet music?
Hi, It’s in Scots Guards Volume 2, pages 154 and 155. Pleased to help. It’s a great tune.
Cheers, Colin
What chanter is that? Very cool!
