There are two main sets of variations. The Skinner variations and
The MacGlashan variations. I actually prefer the MacGlashan variations,
they're not as pseudo-classical sounding as the SKinner variations. I
believe the MacGlashan variations are older.
Howevere, my recommended interpretation of the Skinner variations
is on Ashley MacIssac's "Fine Thank You Very Much" album.
Possibly the best performance of Tullochgorm I've ever heard is on
a hometape of Angus Chisholm in 1956. I used to have that up on my
website. If I have enough response I might consider putting it back up
there.
