LORD LINDSAY'S MARCH. AKA and see "Captain Hillman's March." Irish, March (4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. O'Neill (1922) notes the tune is almost identical to "Capt./Captain Hillman's March" also published by James Aird in Selections, vol. 3 (1788), and Hugh and Lisa Shields note that "Danish Grand March" in Alexander's Scrap Book vol. 2 (p. 8) is a cognate tune[1]. County Cork cleric and uilleann piper James Goodman also has a version called "The Danish March" (volume 1, p. 211). A version of the first strain of "Lord Lindsay's March" can also be found in O'Neill's "Bonaparte's Grand March (1)."
