What song stirs your highland blood?

[beloitpiper]

I just can't stand Amazing Grace. As a piper, I'm forced to play it all the time and now I hate it.

Nowadays, I really love any strathspey (that's a type of tune). A good strathspey really get my heart pumpin.

I've recently become a huge fan of "The Dark Island" by The Black Watch on a cd with the same title.

[Clockwork John]

Scotland the Brave is number one, Amazing Grace is a close second.

I'd have to agree.

The Gael

Highland Cathedral comes high on my list too, though I feel proud to sing along with our National Anthem Flower of Scotland which really gets the blood stirred and the hairs raised for me. Although as a lowland Scot, with possibly a wee bit highland ancestry, Mull of Kintyre is one of my personal favourites.

[Frank McGrath]

I'm pretty partial to Skye Boat song, but the Corries version of Flower of Scotland is also a favourite.

It's hard to pick any pipe songs that don't rouse the spirit.

Amen to that!
