Scottish Set from Sylvia Miskoe
The Arran Boat Song / The Haughs of Cromdale / Glenburnie Rant
The tunes can be played individually or strung together, as they appear here, into a set of air_strathspey_reel. The air should be played so as to depict the rocking of a small boat. The reel is played slowly at first, gradually moving up to reel tempo.

Feel free to send Camp reviews to us ([email protected]) and we will review and possibly post them on the website. We won’t use your full name if you don’t want us to.. Thanks.. – bill o.
