Parts 3 & 4 by P/M Donald MacLeod MBE. Repeats per The Tannahill Weavers on their eponymous album.

Played by "Ceolbeg"….

…in 2002, at their farewell concert, featuring many past members of the band [ including meself ]. Peter Boond, who makes the introduction and plays whistle, tragically died earlier this year. That was the last time we met, but we all had some great times together, which I will never forget. RIP, my friend, from Kenny.
"The Blackberry Bush" starts the set.
