To quote LJC:

The sad stuff is when ye listen tae a solitary piper up in the hills,wi' no' anither sound aboot except the burds,an' he's playin' a pibroch.The sound o' this mournfu' sound echoin' in the hills wid gie anyane the willies.

Now my question...What is a pibroch?...and help me here kat, what was that funeral tune in the musical Brigadoon? Seems like it had a name like pibroch or something.
