CONUNDRUM, THE. Scottish, March (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. A pipe march often heard played at Scottish sessions. Composed by Peter Macleod, a giant of early-mid 20th century Great Highland Pipe composing and teaching, many of whose tunes are in traditional repertoire today. A story is told about the tune that may or may not be true. It seems that Macleod migrated to Glasgow where there was work to be found in the great shipyards of the city, but had the misfortune to suffer an accident that resulted in the loss of a leg. The tune's unusual rhythm is said to mimic his marching gait when equiped with a wooden leg, and the tune's title reflects Macleod's difficulties keeping to march rhythm with a pronounced limp.
