  • How cool do you think this would sound on the violin?

    Hello,

    If you want to have an idea, here are two videos where Highland Laddie is played on the violin:

  • plane taking off 140 db, 1 set of well played bagpipes 110 db, you could have probably heard this across the city

  • Respond to this video...

    Bagpipes make the hairs on my arm stand up. Makes me wish I were Scottish in a Highland Regiment.

    As a US Navy VIetnam veteran who's father fought in Europe, I tip my hat and bow in reverence to your grandfather; part of the Greatest Generation the world has known. Do you realize that people like your grandfather saved the world? Even though we span a generation, he is my brother in arms.

  • @celt1745 I'm not sure you're right but I do admit it is very difficult to find the tunes origins. As far as I know it is the tune "Bonapart's retreat" which descended from "The Eagle's Whistle".

  • @Celtefan - Moran taing. (Gaelic for merci!) I have left a comment on your other post (Over the Sea to Skye), which also has an interesting history.

    My own website is still being reconstructed, but you can see it at: sites.google.com/site/glencelt
