Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I enjoy playing accordion but I still have a lot to learn.

The Atholl Highlanders are a Scottish regiment, I learnt the tune from Sandy Brechin's video, and you don't get more Scottish than that ;-)

Nonetheless Scottish and Irish folk music are often quite close cousins. If anyone enjoys my music I am happy :-)

Very well played, I also have Sandy Brechin's video. But this tune is far to fast for me, even if I try to learn it a bit at a time.

I am starting off on walztes like Fairy Lullaby, don't laugh. Your Golotta sounds very nice, not at all like my 48 bass Stella.

Best wishes.

Please do post a video of yourself playing, making recordings is great for practice. You might find David Mackenzie's buttons and keys book helpful, it's a great introduction to Scottish accordion.

Kind regards, Terry

hi. bsa. We shared some notes some time ago. Could I have this one from you and Shandon Bells. In return I send you the music you ask...

Again this one simple and effectively played by you.. Thanks.

Still, it's extremely common for the Irish to play originally-Scottish tunes, including this one. Great playing!
