My first trip to Scotland was a group tour that started in London and ended in Glascow. One the day we went from Skye via the ferry from Armadale to Mallaig to Glenfinnan then to Ft. William down and through Glencoe across Rannoch Moor, via Loch Lomond and on to Glasgow. Unfortunately there really wasn't time for all of us to go up and down the tower, though we did stop there. I took lots of photos of it. Some of the loveliest country in the world (IMHO) is located in that area.

Thanks for listening ff, one of my all time favourite drives is from Fort William up to Mallaig, passing Glenfinnian, the commenative tower at the head of Loch Sheil has one of the 'tightest' of stairs to take one to the viewing platform, not sure that my girth would allow me up it these days , lol

best wishes

Nicely done, John. Lovely tune. Titled Lochaber No More brings up visions of Bonnie Prince Charlie landing in Glenfidden and it was played as a Jacobite Lament. Lochaber is such a lovely section of Scotland with the mountains, moors, and glens.

However, I've read that, if you go back in history it was written by an Irish harper. I believe that two variations of the tune are King James' March Into Ireland, Lament for Limerick.

Any way, whether it is Scottish or Irish you did a fine job of the playing of it. Grin.gif

Hello Hunter,just picked up on your two postings. Thank you for your kind comments, I read all that you post and much admire your spirited playing. I am afraid that in answer to your question 'who made my dulcimers' the answer must be me! One day I might get around to buying one that was made a bit nearer to where you live, would love to come over and look at what is available and take in a couple of festivals, but getting a bit old now, so doubt that I ever will. Keep on telling us about your area, I've read a lot about it.Best wishes, JohnH

That is just beautiful, John Henry. You could probably call it Scotch-Irish too.
