The Romance of the Highlands Pipe Music
£0.99The Romance of The Highlands
This is a strathspey in 4/4 time. The strathspey is a slow, graceful dance characterised by the use of a semiquaver (16th note) followed by a dotted quaver (8th note). This “Scotch Snap” rhythm is synonymous with Scottish music and only really appears in this tradition.
The Romance of the Highlands strathspey has been exclusively composed for Kinloch Anderson by Pipe Major Derek Potter RVM, The Sovereign’s Piper 2008-2012.
This strathspey is named after the Kinloch Anderson Romance tartan and evokes an artistic vision of The Highlands of Scotland with soft hues, gentle shades and a romantic notion of the advent of the fresh Spring season. The tartan itself introduces unusual pastel shades and has become a favourite choice for children and lovers of romantic art, literature and music.

The Heather of the Glen Pipe Music
£0.99The Heather of the Glen
This is a 3/4 retreat march which has a strongly emphasised regular beat, intended primarily to keep marching soldiers in step. In the 19th century retreat march regulations stipulated 3 beats to the bar, which is why retreat marches are in 3/4 or 9/8 time to this day.
The Heather of the Glen has been exclusively composed for Kinloch Anderson by Derek Potter RVM, The Sovereign’s Piper 2008-2012.
This march is named after the Kinloch Anderson Heather tartan and evokes a frequently portrayed image of Scotland’s moors and glens as blankets of colour in glorious shades of pink and purple. The tartan itself links Kinloch Anderson to one of Scotland’s favourite flowers which has always been regarded as a symbol of good luck – especially if it is white!
