LOCHANSIDE [1]. Scottish, Retreat March (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Composed by Pipe Major Angus MacDonald. "The retreat march is not necessarily a march time tune which would be marched to," explains Stuart Eydmann; rather, "as often as not it was played as part of the evening ritual in military camps as day duties gave way to night ones. It was not linked to the military manoeuvre of retreating in or from battle but was linked to the idea of refuge and safety in the camp."
