This is a Highland bagpipe tune which I have worked out for rhe guitar in rwo variations. Thefirst part-represents a pipe solo in the style of "Bonnie Dundee."-When the tune repeats, thethumb shifts to a conventional alternating pattern in order to convey the effect of theentrance of the drum and pipe corps as the full band takes up the melody. I usually play thispart faster than the firsr.Lord Lovat was the Duke of Atholl and fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobiteuprising-of 1745 '1746' After the rebellion was put down, he became the fifth rË. l"rt personto be beheaded as a rrairor on Tower Hill in Lonâon.

This is a strathspey, which is a type of slow reel that became popular in Scotland in rhe 1700's.This tune was written by Neil Gow, who was a court fiddler for the Duke of Atholl, when theBritish banned the distil lation of spirits. Incidentally, when the English decided to stop beingkillloys and let the Scots have their favorite beverage back, Gow wrote another tune entitled"Whiskey Welcome Again." \Vhen I visited Blair AtholI in 1997,1 saw Neil Gow's fiddle andalso was given a private viewing of Gow's famous oil portrait.
