Bill D mentioned this in the thread on songs we close with. Can anyone point me to a CD, midi, other source?

Amazon.com found it on a CD by Shanon titled Celtic Classics II. DOn't know the group "Shanon" but they're compared to Yanni, so I'm guessing this might be an instrumental version. Does any of this ring a bell, Bill?

found it!...and I doubt I'd go NEAR anything that was compared to Yanni...*grin*

mine is by Mirk, (Ian Sinclair, Maggie Sinclair, Ray Crompton & Jim Sutherland)...recorded at Pencaitland, East Lothian in 1982,) *Springthyme Records, Balmalcom House, Kingskettle, Fife*...it's just a lovely bit of Scots singing..

also includes Dowie Dens O Yarrow, Lady Charlotte Durham, Bonnie Wee Lassie's Answer, Glemlogie, Cairn-O-Mount, Fareweel to Cape Helles.... and more instrumentals..

Oooo, I've been wanting to learn Glenlogie too. Thanks for looking it up, I'll see if Springthyme Records is still selling it.
