about

The opening tune on Part 4 - Sprit’ is called ‘Acharnac’s Reell’ (aye they used to spell the dance ‘reel’ with two ‘L’s back in the 18th century). It was recorded on a whistle as I sat on the banks of a peaceful wee stream called the Auchernack Burn that trickles down from the famous local farmhouse of the same name. It’s from our celebrated local tune collection by Angus Cumming in 1780 called ‘A collection of Strathspey or Highland Reels at Grantown in Strathspey. That family of Cummings were a dynasty of fiddlers and pipers in the service of the Chief of Clan Grant at Castle Grant, in Grantown-on-Spey. The alternative name for the tune is ‘Ba’l nan Grantich’ - which translates from Gaelic to ‘Town of the Grants’. Okay, I promise won’t say ‘Grant’ one more time. Oops I just did.
