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.
