This is a popular tune that people regularly request right now. It is a good tune to have in any pipers repertoire!

for what it's worth, I come from a town in NC where Flora MacDonald lived with her husband after fleeing Scotland - the Heiress whom this tune was written for ----

My teacher yesterday suggested that I learn this one in order to concentrate on steady blowing. Thanks for posting Matt!

Love this song. (Love Outlander show also.) Excited to someday play it on my Twist Trap Practice Pipes.

Hey mate, recently found your channel and loving it so far. Would you consider doing a video like this on the Mist covered mountains? That's got to be my favourite tune and I would love to play it.

Matt are you using a "new" metronome? You mentioned the name.... perhaps you could list the name of the app? Appreciate your approach! Thanks for all you do for us "learning" pipers. :)
