The Folk Tradition: Margaret's Waltz

"Margaret's Waltz" beautifully played here by Bryan Sutton. I used to think it was an American tune, then I heard Aly Bain playing it and I though he also composed it and then I heard it was by Pat Shaw and I thought that he might be an Argyllshire man and the father of Donald Shaw (of Capercaillie.) but I eventually found out that Patrick Noel Shuldham-Shaw (1917- 1977) was born in Stratford-on-Avon, England. Can you tell where these pictures come from?

I swear if anyone dislikes this song they have no soul, It's so calming, so mellow and just a beautiful piece of music

@ElwingMoon L’abbaye de Jedburgh est une abbaye de chanoines augustiniens, datant des XIIe et XIIIe siècles ; elle est située à Jedburgh, dans le comté de Roxburghshire, de la région des Scottish Borders en Écosse.

Iain,

I have listened to just about every version of this tune I can find, and keep coming back to this one. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best rendition ever.
