Good tune "Caber Feidh". Regimental "charge" of the Gordons I believe.

According to bagpipelessons.com, it was a regimental tune of the Queen's Own Highlanders.
It was also a duty tune of the Royal Canadian Regiment (Lima Company) per www.geocities.com/Pentagon/9750/tunes.htm), and the regimental charge of the 78th Highlanders (per www.plantfamily.com/dobbinsfamilytree.html).
It's also a favorite tune of Clan MacKenzie.
It means "deer's antlers" or "stag's head", or a combination thereof, depending on who you ask.
It's one of the few piping tunes that has been written as a 4/4 March, a Strathspey, a jig, a hornpipe, and a reel. You could do a whole medley (or MSR) of nothing but Caber Feidh! You probably wouldn't get scored very well, but it would be amusing!
