LOL.. Funny you should mention that song, I just played that song a few days ago to amuse my band mates. I've taken to playing Scottish & Irish tunes during breaks in band rehearsal (I now play lead guitar, fiddle & pedal steel in an American Country band). I could really mess with them, and arrange one of the typical Scottish fiddle music sets onto the pedal steel. It wouldn't be a hard thing to do. Hmm.. I wonder what The Braes of Marr would sound like on pedal steel? :-)
Aargh! We're currently doing the step dance "Burning the Piper's Hut" to a Tony Elman tune that has the instrumentation of Hammered Dulcimer, Cello and Pedal Steel. If only he'd left the pedal steel out of the mix it would have been a nice recording. Not that I don't like pedal steel, you understand...
It's not appropriate for all situations, kind of like piano accordion is not always appropriate for a country band :-)
