11. Border hornpipes: Lord Lovat's Welcome to Castle Downie (trad. Lowland/Borders) | Cambrian Place (trad./arr.C.Matthews) | Jack's Gone a-Shearin' (trad. Lowland/Borders)

The first of these "triple-time" hornpipes was arranged by Irish/English/American fiddler Robert Ryan. The second tune existed in obscurity as a fragment of an old slip jig before the Welsh flutist/piper Ceri Matthews named it and "cobbled" it into the 3/2 hornpipe setting it now occupies so beautifully. (We decided this tune was strong enough to händel a brief countermelody.) Both of these tunes originally came to us from Robert, via Dominique Dodge, who both tend to play them in reverse order. The final tune was published in Matt Seattle's The Border Bagpipe Book (1993). We took the liberty of swapping the second and third parts from what appears in print.
