Brian,

The tune is the hornpipe "Man from Skye" performed here with a snare and tenor drum. Noticing your home, I also fond of the tune 'Tain in the Rain.'

Cheers,

Ian

I meant "4th Seaforths!"

Thanks for that. I played the pipes at Piper Richardsons grave this year at Adanac Cemetry. My wifes great uncle is buried near him, and when I turned round there was a bus load of veterens from the Canadian legion standing watching me! I was also wearing a WW1 pipers uniform as my granda was a regimental piper in the $th Seaforths. The Legion bus driver nearly crashed the bus when he saw me at Piper Richardsons grave dressed as a WW1 piper. Thanks for the info on the tune. Its a great tune.
