Summary

Pipe Major Nicol sings, in canntaireachd form, the ground and first variation of the ceòl mòr 'My King has Landed in Moidart' and the ground of the ceòl mòr 'The Prince's Salute'.

There then follows a discussion on the 'Slaodach' or 'Loose' variation in ceòl mòr. It is compared to the swing of a pendulum. By way of illustration, reference is made to the tunes 'Scarce of Fishing', 'Lament for the Earl of Antrim', 'The Bells of Perth', 'The End of the Great Bridge' and 'The Blue Ribbon'.
