WASHINGTON'S MARCH [5].   English, Bagpipe March (6/4 time).  D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The seat of the Washington family was in County Durham, England, though Paul Roberts (2004) suspects the tune comes from Lancashire and may be martial in nature. He suggests comparison with "Mary Scott, Flower of Yarrow (The)," and considers that it may be more reminiscent of pibroch than of "Division" form.
