Summary
This is the ground and first variation of the ceòl mòr 'Togail nam Bò' [The MacFarlanes' Gathering] played on the Highland bagpipe.
In his introduction, Pipe Major Brown states that this is a warning tune, and should be played in a determined manner, not slowly but briskly. After he has finished playing, he remarks that he doesn't play the cadences the way the Piobaireachd Society has published it. He learned the tune from Pipe Major Robert Meldrum.
