There are two Meeting of the Waters pieces - the Scottish march commemorates a 19th century flood in Aberdeenshire when two rivers rose over a low watershed.

I looked up the Mouth of the Tobique (after a dramatically syncopated Canadian contra reel) on Google. It might be interesting if you're a waterfowl.

I live about a mile from Cockpen. The Laird of Cockpen's house was demolished as was most of Cockpen church. But the church ruins and the folly built with stones from the house still survive. Someday I will video myself playing the tune in one or the other.
