PLACE, TRUE LOVE, THINE ARM AROUND ME (Cuir a choin dìlis tharam do lamb). Scottish, Slow Air (6/8 time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. This tune "reports the intention of an individual, seemingly long absent, to return to the braes of Lochiel, where he could enjoy the pleasure of the chase in perfection. The circumstances of the times banished so many from their native country, that it is difficult to trace the illusion" (Fraser).
