Tune properties and standard notation
FAR O'ER STRUY. Scottish, "Retreat Air" (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by J.P. MacLeod, a piper and pipe-maker of Tain, who won the gold medal for pibroch at Inverness in 1907. A "retreat air" is a form popular with West-coast Scotland fiddlers, according to Alastair Hardie (1992). "Struay", explains Nigel Gatherer, is a hill-road above the Dornoch Firth, near Inverness.
