I have a note that this track is played FOUR times 32. Is there anyone
who can give me confirmation that George is correct?

Which Alastair? Hunter or Wood? Which album?

I assume Hunter if it's the Lorne SCDB. Don't know what album.

All,

Sorry for the typo error but the recording I have is indeed by Alastair
Hunter and it is simply called Alastair Hunter and the Lorne Scottish Dance
Band. The serial number on the CD number CWGR131.

Hi, Alan
I have just played CC on my computer and it plays
three time 48 (as far as I can judge without dancing it) Certainly it'
published time of 4'54" is as near as dash it which seems about right.
The tunes are given as
Crathes Castle - Angus Fitchet
Margaret Morrison - Andrew Knight
Harperrig - Andrew Knight.
I don't have any more tunes in my index but stand by for the rest of the
info.
