These may be impossible to get hold of, but just in case:
YLA STEVEN: BACK TO THE HILLS (Scottish Records, c1977)
RON GONNELLA: FIDDLE GEMS (Lismor, 1976)
THE GOLDEN FIDDLE AWARDS (1980) (Played by Donald Montgomery)
The tune is by Captain Simon Fraser in an attempt at Gow's style; in fact
he also composed a companion strathspey, "Niel Gow's Style" which has some
merit.
