DUNDEE CITY POLICE PIPE BAND. Scottish, March (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'CCDD'. Composed by the late Scottish accordion player and band leader Jimmy Shand (1908-2000), an immensely popular Scottish dance musician who influenced Scottish dance music for over half a century. Shand composed some 300 tunes in his lifetime, and began his prolific recording career in 1933. Although not written specifically for the pipe, many of Shand's compositions have been adapted for the Highland bagpipe.
