Thread Name: beautiful tunes
Subject: RE: beautiful tunes
There are other tunes associated with Gight Castle and the area around it that really were meant to be slow - Hector MacAndrew's "Gight Castle", James Scott Skinner's "Corgarff Castle" and the ballad for another battle in the same feud as that, "The Burning of Auchindoun" which also has a haunting and dramatic tune. But the story of Miss Gordon of Gight is so extraordinary it really deserves to have her tune done right.
