I've added 17 tunes for 7c lute from the Straloch manuscript to my
   Scottish Lute Recording Project
   site:A [1]http://scottishlute.com/straloch/A
   There you will see a couple of images of Robert Gordon of Straloch,
   who, when he wasn't compiling the manuscript, was a contributor to
   Blaeu's Atlas. And I've also included an old photograph of his house
   where he wrote the original manuscript. Sadly, only a copy of the
   manuscript survives, written out by George Farquhar Graham in the 19th
   century. Graham admits he missed out many of the dances - now they seem
   to lost forever.
   Much of the manuscript is for 10c lute, but these pieces are all for
   7c, with the 7th course at F.
