“The History & Structure of Cèol Mòr”. Gradually a body of information came to be gathered in my library. About the year 2000 I began to think about leaving a record behind as I had no guarantee of immortality, let alone longevity. |

I decided on a format that presents a summary of known facts and/or of the heather myths that seem to have some relevance. I set a target of 196 tunes to match the requirement for a student in the MacCrimmon school to graduate with a certificate. I remain 23 tunes short but if I am spared I will continue to move towards the goal. |

Sources for the tune histories in this collection are varied: the excellent but unfinished work of Alex Haddow was heavily drawn on. Poulter & Fisher's 1936 “The MacCrimmon Family” was referenced. I.F. Grant's “The MacLeods, The History of a Clan” was another good source. Bridget Mackenzies' two books on Piping Traditions was and remains a major help. Also, Seumas MacNeill's “Piobaireachd', Seton Gordon's “Highways and Byways of the West Highlands“, Chamber's “History of the Rebellion of 1745”, Boswell's “Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson”, Donald Campbell's “A Treatise on the Language, Poetry and Music of the Highland Clans”, Raymond Eagle's biography “Seton Gordon”, Norma MacLeod's book Raasay: the Island and its People” all of these have helped. |
