It was first published for the piano by J. MacFadyen in his "Repository of Scots and Irish Airs", 1795. Queen Victoria's mad piper Angus Mackay published it as his own about 40 years later, note for note the same in all 6 parts except for the gracenotes. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Downton Abbey piper From: Megan L Date: 24 Jan 16 - 12:39 PM So far I have found it was piper Hamish Young from the London Scottish regiment I have sent a message asking him what tune was used. For anyone interested they wear the hodden grey kilt with royal blue trims but their pipe bag is the Gordon tartan |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Downton Abbey piper From: Jack Campin Date: 24 Jan 16 - 11:18 AM I can't see that. It seems to reference fbcdn when loading, which is Facebook's media server - I can't install the Flash version that Facebook needs. I found one YouTube clip of that wedding scene, which is four minutes out of my life I won't get back and didn't have any piper in it. If someone can give me a YouTube link to the exact second where the piper starts I'll watch it. |
