Fad as. Thar nam Beann (Over the Hills and Far Away) - Traditional
The Islay Lassies - Traditional
Ridhladh am Botul mòr (Let the Bottle Circulate) - Traditional
Glen Saul – John Maclellan

​This set commences with two quicksteps: The precursor to the more athletic, four-part, 2/4 march played for competitions and dances today. There is an abundance of this sort of music in older collections. Over the Hills and Far Away comes from the Gunn Collection and The Islay Lassies from Glen’s.

​John Maclellan, Dunoon (1875-1949) was a man of many talents: Piper, fiddle player, painter, poet, soldier. Although not oft celebrated, his talent as a composer of melodic music is perhaps without peer. The Bloody Fields of Flanders, Lochanside, Southhall, Colonel MacLean of Ardgour, Glen Caladh Castle are just a few in his canon. We had no intention of featuring John Maclellan especially on this recording but the sheer quality of his tunes have frequently chosen themselves as we trawled through the old books. Glen Saul is one of these gems.
