Heard this on Ossian’s 1997 album "The Carrying Stream". Transcribed by ear.

Re: Pipe Major Joe Wilson

Is this Pipe Major Joseph L. Wilson (1938-2010) of the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders?

Re: Pipe Major Joe Wilson

I would assume so, but I don’t know for sure.

Re: Pipe Major Joe Wilson

Joe was indeed P/M of the Gordons he also played with the British Caledonian Airways Pipe Band. I`m sure that the tune was composed by Pipe Major Angus Mac Donald , Scots Guards, who also played with B.Cal
