Old Scottish Tunes- The Haughs of Cromdale and the Drunken Piper
Hope you like these two, 1st verse of the Haughs of Cromdale, an old Jacobite tune:-
As I came in by Achindoon,
A little wee bit frae the town,
When to the Highlands I was bound
To view the haughs of Cromdale.
I met a man in tartan trews,
I spiered at him what was the news,
Who’ he, “The Highland army rues
The e’er we came to Cromdale.
As I came in by Achindoon,
A little wee bit frae the town,
When to the Highlands I was bound
To view the haughs of Cromdale.
I met a man in tartan trews,
I spiered at him what was the news,
Who’ he, “The Highland army rues
The e’er we came to Cromdale.

Is this Scotish or Irish folk tune?
My Great great grandmother was born in Haddington Scotland in 1857 and came to America as a child. I blame her for me loving Scottish music.
Great delivery of a rousing Jacobite tune, guys. I visited Gow's statue in Dunkeld a few weeks ago. It is a fine piece of artwork.
God rest ye brother
O the summer time has come And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? Chorus: And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? I will build my love a bower (summerhouse) By yon cool crystal fountain And round it I will pile All the wild flowers o' the mountain Will ye go Lassie Go? (chorus) I will range through the wilds And the deep glen sae dreamy And return wi' their spoils Tae the bower o' my dearie Will ye go Lassie Go? (chorus) If my true love she'll not come Then I'll surely find another To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? (chorus)

Gunga Din brought me here
Kevin from Stirling Castle was right
Saw the Corries so many times as a child. Still love them. (And the Sorries😉)
Well done, lads
Hi again Damiam and Jim ... another great set of tunes from the pair of you! I certainly know the Haughs of Cromdale from some old (or should that be VERY old) LPs back in the day! The Drunken Piper is new to me and seems from your rhythm to be a march? I'm guessing it's another Scottish tune but happy to be corrected? What key are you playing these in? Great tunes and thanks once again for the effort !! Ed.
Hello Ed, thanks for the kind words, the Drunken Piper is a Scottish tune aka known as the reel of the 51st Highland Division. Both in A minor. We thought they went well together. Best wishes
Bravo, très belle musique écossaise. Bonne journée à vous deux.
Wow. a massive difference from "Peggy O" played by the Grateful Dead and "Pretty Peggy O" by Bob Dylan.
Give me the Holy Clancys any day! Across the length and breadth of Connemara, where the donkeys frollick and the rain lashes like water without whisky for a gossoon dreaming in sight of the mighty Atlantic
best version of this ever!!!
We sang this to Dad in his final hours in 2017. He and mom sang it in the Irish American Heritage Center’s Choir in Chicago, Il
I'm 79% Scottish 13% Irish and the rest Welsh. Scotland and Ireland are geographically very close. Over the years and for a variety of reasons we have crisscrossed from both lands. My maternal Irish line descends from the Kerrs/Carrs of Donegal who left Ireland for Scotland before the 1841 Census. The mother is dead youngest is 8 months old. Settled near Nitshill in Glasgow Ellen/Helen was my great great grandmother. Her Father and brothers went down the mine. Her Father died aged 72 in a Mine Accident. A pit carriage ran over his person. She had my great grandmother Margaret Leitch/ Kerr/Carr and never married her Father Archibald Leitch. She was the only child of both parents. It's all on my maternal side our Irish clan. West of Scotland Ayrshire, you are likely to have Irish ancestors.
The Scot’s, Irish , welsh a😊heritage is intertwined and not in necessary to distinguish . 😊
Agree with Irene,. I’m honored to be part of the Irish well
Honored to be part of this extraordinary mixture of Celtic culture and history.
Memories of L'Attache!❤
This is so sad
And I thought that the Pied Piper was a work of fiction.
so amazing !!!
Do you have the video “All gods Creatures”
Does anyone have the full length video if this concert???
Excellent!!
Lovely interpretation lads. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Jim and Damien, another wee gem from you both. First time I have heard this tune played on banjo and I like your version a lot! 😊
Love this old song, I lived and sailed out of Liverpool in the 1970s. Brings back memories of the docks, pubs and Liverpool judies. A great old sea town!
Beautiful.
Just brilliant.
Very Beautiful Music very Beautiful musiciens
Merci Jean-Pierre, merci! 😄
Sorry lads, forgot to ask earlier, what key do you usually play it in? Ed.
Hi Jim & Damian, great to have another tune from you! I know that I "don't know" this tune, but somehow it sounds very familiar! Hope that makes sense ... I will be having a go at playing along with your video! Many thanks, and best wishes ! Ed.
Hi Ed, thanks for the kind words. Yes it's an old Scottish tune, it sounded familiar to us but we had to look up the name. This one is in the key of D. We try to swap the keys around a wee bit for variety, but D is nice and easy for Mandolins/Banjo. Best wishes
Sounds a lot like Riding a Raid.
😊🎵
This is what the mermaid is tuned on.
As a kid our family didn’t have money to go away on holidays but my mother made sure we all went to see them at Eden court theatre inverness as our day out.Thanks Mam
That instant perfect whistle is absolutely unreal.
When Roy Williamson died I drove my Ford Cortina mk 3 up to Camperdown Park in Dundee and sat on the bonnet and played his tunes on my Harmonica in tears. Part of my youth disappeared that night. Thanks for the music and humour boys.
❤❤❤❤❤
Great singer.very passionate.
For Brenda,my Scots Diamond Queen
A real blast from the past..... I watched this back in 1987 when it was first released. Managed to see them in concert in 1988 before Roy's untimely death.... The Corries' music has been a part of me all my life, 52 year old, "exiled" in Wales and still on my playlist as I run to work. Music for the ages indeed.. Thank you for posting! Rob
Lovely tune the song was composed by Lady Nairne who also wrote The Rowan tree and wi a hundred pipers
Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and pure pride on my face.
oh free plastine
im 56 and i love them
❤😢😅
Merci jean-pierre, can va?
👏🏻🇮🇪🏴
Makes we wanna dance - or join the Navy (or both😊)!
Greetings Damian & Jim (I have to ask ... who play's which instrument?) Love the tune! I only know one Neil Gow tune ("Farewell To Whisky") but this one is quite catchy! Is it N.G. Senior or Junior who composed it?, and thanks for the lyrics too! Hope this finds you both well! Kind Regards, Ed.
Hello Ed, thanks for the kind words! Good to hear from you, how are you? I think this is a Neil Gow Senior tune, he marched with the Jacobites in 1745 for a short time I believe. On this one Jim is playing guitar! Kind Regards.
Lovely
Great, stirring version of this classic Jacobite tune, lads. A great favourite of mine from pub sessions many years aago. And still enjoyed a lot!
