Details

Description

The Glendaruel Highlanders was composed about 1860 by Alexander Fettes, Pipe Major of the City of Aberdeen Volunteers Regiment. It was probably composed in honour of John MacDougall Gillies, also a member of the Aberdeen Volunteers, whose family came from Glendaruel, Argyllshire, but lived in King Street, Aberdeen, at the time. Gillies was employed as a painter and decorator in Aberdeen.

This tune when sung is "Campbeltown Loch I wish you were whisky"

This is a performance by The 1st Battalion of the Scots Guards P&D as they escort the crown of Scotland down Edinburgh's Royal Mile from castle to Parliament.
