AABB (Martin): AABC (Kerr): AABBCC (Martin): AABBCCDD (Balmoral, Perlman, Skye). A pipe march from the Inverness Collection. See also the County Donegal variant "March of the Meenatoiteen Bull (The)." The name Inverness means 'mouth of the river Ness'. Ness was the name of a legendary Irish queen, mother of Conchubar, who is supposed to have ruled in Ulster at the time of Christ (though the river name may be older). The Inverness Gathering is the name of the annual Highland Games sponsored by the city of Inverness, and were established in 1822.
