Can anyone think of songs/tunes with Aberdeen, Deeside, Aberdeenshire or NE Scotland connections?

Apart from the obvious "Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen" I know of the pipe tune "Back o' Bennachie" (a good picnic spot incidentally.

I've thought of starting a collection. If you have any details like the author or a performer, midi file etc as well as the title that would be great.

I say there, Graeme, see that little box in the upper right corner? Putting in 'Aber*' gave me forty five hits. Now they may not all be relevant, but it will get you started.
Blessings,
Barbara

For 17th and 18th century songs and tunes connected with Aberdeen search for 'Aberdeen' on my website files BALOP, CTYDAN1, CTYDAN2, SCOTTUNS, and SONGTXT1.
