Hi, Joe! I, too, was on the tour to Orkney (The Sk'orkney Tour) with Jim and Susie Malcom. Today I was given a link to a song called "Pretty Saro" that we'll be playing at an upcoming harp retreat. I went to YouTube to look it up and found this:

And was struck by the similarity of the tune. I love musical connections like this! Here's what it says in Wikipedia about "Pretty Saro":
"Pretty"


Hope to see you again on a Jim and Susie tour of Scotland!
Best,
