Tune Annotations:	'''MACDONALD OF THE ISLES MARCH TO HARLAW.''' AKA and see "[[Haugh's Jig]]," "[[Inverness Jig (2) (The)]]," "[[John Doherty's Jig (2)]]," "[[King Billy's March]]," "[[Lord MacDonald's March to Harlaw]]," "[[MacGregor Jig]]," "[[Mac's Fancy]]," "[[Mack's Fancy]]," "[[March of Donald Lord of the Isles to the Battle of Harlaw (1411)]]," "[[O'Reilly's]]," "[[Paddy Lyon's]]," "[[Phil's Jig]]," "[[Rover's Return (The)]]," "[[Victor's Return (The)]]." Scottish, Pipe March (6/8 time). A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The title commemorates the Battle of Harlaw, fought in 1411, and is popular as both a pipe and fiddle tune. Scottish and Irish versions exist (see alternate titles). It is unlikely the tune has any antiquity prior to the mid-19th century, when it was first printed in John McLachlan's '''Piper's Assistant''' (c. 1854). Rather, the title was probably a whim of the Romanticism of the era, a la Sir Walter Scott.
