Back to Farewell to the Tay
FAREWELL TO THE TAY. Scottish, March (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The River Tay is Scotland's longest river, descending from the western Highlands and flowing easterly across Scotland to empty into the Firth of Tay near Dundee. The tune was originally composed as a 6/8 pipe march and appears in David Glen's Highland Bagpipe Tutor (1876-1901). Cape Breton fiddlers have converted it to a fiddle jig.
