Is this the same Donald MacLeod who left Oban in high dudgeon after failing
to win a piping competion as expected, thus occasioning the classic 2/4
march 'DMcL's farewell to Oban' (composer gone from memory banks)?  His
other deeds of infamy are unknown to me, but since he was a piper there must
be some...

Quite agree about Hamish's playing of the tune, and the others in that set -
a revelation that marches could be played lyrically like that.
