about

The tune that forms the final, eighth section of ‘A Highland Battle’, a fiddle suite in bagpipe style probably by James Oswald (1711-1769), who published it in his ca. 1780 'The Caledonian Pocket Companion – being a collection of the most favourite Scotch tunes for the German flute'. I got it from David Johnson’s 'Scottish Fiddle Music in the Eighteenth Century'. I’ve changed the first two of its six parts from major to minor.
