Having just piped for some highland dancers at a Robbie Burns night, and having to go searching various places to remember which tunes were used for the dancing, I thought it would be useful to list them here as well.
- The fling – Marquis of Huntley Highland Fling
- Sword Dance – Ghillie Callum
- Pas de Bas – first part of Ghillie Callum
- Sean Tribhus – Whistle O’ the Lave
- Gay Gordons – Gay Gordons (though a set of strathspeys can also be used)
- Highland Laddie – Highland Laddie
- Lilt – Battle of the Somme
The tunes for some of the other dances I didn’t pipe for that night include:
- Sailor’s Hornpipe – Crossing the Minch
- Irish Jig – Paddy’s Leather Breeches
- Strathspey and Reel – Loudon’s Bonny Woods and Braes & Jock Wilsons Ball
- Johnnie –
- Broadsword – Set of strathspeys
