Huntly recorded their highest win over Strathspey Thistle scoring seven without reply at Christie Park. It was also a record win for Manager Colin Charlesworth since taking over who was delighted to see his side bounce back from their six-nil defeat at Fraserburgh. Angus Grant netted five to take his total for the season to thirteen goals with Charlesworth highlighting the importance of the player since he took over giving him a selection headache.

Trails for the Environment - The Trail Feathers Project, Emma Holgate & Douglas Carchrie - Trail Feathers ProjectIn this podcast we get a fascinating insight into a project where mountain bikers are a leading light in Capercaillie conservation helping to preserve and enhance the rare and vulnerable habitat for the critically endangered Capercaillie. The ‘Trail Feathers Project', funded by the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, has involved the whole mountain bike community, Badenoch and Strathspey Trail Association, land managers and conservationists. With only a few hundred remaining in Scotland, the vast majority of which are in the Badenoch and Strathspey area, and mountain biking increasing in the Cairngorms, a solution was needed to protect the environment for caper to flourish with minimal disturbance, while allowing riders to still venture into the forests with the knowledge that they are minimising their footprint in more sensitive areas. Find out more about the depth of this project, the trail mapping of the area, the communities involved and their reaction, the involvement of young trail builders as part of the Trail Academy, the new trails that have been developed and the potential impact of this project as an exemplar in other areas of conservation and across not just Scottish mountain biking, but other outdoor sports too. Many thanks to Douglas Carchrie, Badenoch and Strathspey Trail Development Coordinator for Cairngorms National Park Authority and Emma Holgate Chair of Badenoch and Strathspey Trail Association and Senior Instructor at Glenmore Lodge for taking the time to speak to us.

Episode geeklist Come join the new Wargames To Go (and Boardgames To Go) discord server https://discord.gg/vxEG9bMPdx Guess what? This little podcast is now ten years old. I'd been doing my other one about euro boardgames even longer, and in 2013 I decided to branch off this other show about wargaming. I'd started in this hobby as a kid wargamer in 1979. I never completely left it, but my hobby in the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s shifted more to roleplaying, Magic: the Gathering, and then euro boardgaming. It wasn't until around 2010 or so that I finally realized what countless wargamers before me did--that I could enjoy wargaming as a (mostly) solitaire hobby, getting more games to the table. I started acquiring more titles, especially magazine games, and became interested in specific topics to explore via multiple game treatments. Then I added my love of travel and movies to make my own contribution to wargame podcasts, Wargames To Go. Thanks for listening! I had plans to go see Scotland back in 2016, but those had to be cancelled. Then it was put off for a few years, a worldwide pandemic happened, yadda-yadda-yadda...and finally I got to visit this country in 2023. My wife & I enjoyed two weeks there--the first in the cities of Ediburgh & Glasgow, followed by a second week in the countryside (Strathspey and up to Orkneys). There was much to see & enjoy, from stone age settlements to whisky distilleries. And there were sites of military history. I really enjoy visiting battlefields to get a feel for the location. Sometimes the accompanying museums are good--other times not. Best of all is when there is a good guide available. Even if not, though, these days it's easy to read so much information online, to watch battlefield animation videos, and more to get a fuller sense of the historic event. On this trip we visited the sites of Bannockburn, Culloden, and from Stirling Castle I could look out over the Stirling Bridge area. I don't think anyone really knows where the Roman battle of Mons Graupius took place, but I probably drove near it. As you can tell, the topics here are not limited to one battle, one war, or even one era. I decided to dabble in all areas of Scottish military history that I could, at least as far as wars actually in Scotland. The big three eras are Roman contact, the Wars of Scottish Independence (Wallace/Bruce/Longshanks), and the Jacobite Uprising. Other periods such as the Battle of Flodden Field or the Border Reiver period are mentioned, but we'll see if I get to any of those games. This episode is a intentionally shorter than some previous ones. I'd rather post a couple smaller episodes that wait longer for a gargantuan one. I figure it's easier for listeners to follow along this way, too. As a result, I haven't yet seen all of the films nor played all of the games that I intend to. It's an introduction to the topic, and I'll return later with a conclusion. Films • Braveheart • Culloden • Rob Roy • Outlaw King Books • A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain, by Marc Morris -Mark P.S. I'll be at SDHistCon in just a few days. Look me up and say hi if you enjoy the podcast, thanks!
*Updated with audio-error mistakes addressed (hopefully) sorry about that! Link to Scots Hoose: https://www.scotshoose.com/ ----- This one was different, hope it's enjoyable, stay safe and go buy cool stuff at BagpipeSwag.com!" Entire Script from Chat GPT conversation: Hello, are you familiar with the competitive bagpipe band scene? Organizations like the RSPBA, Pipe Bands Australia, and WUSPBA sanction competitions throughout the year and bands compete in different grade-levels for day-specific as well as aggregate prizes. There are also solo competitions on bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums, and bass drums. ChatGPT Yes, I am familiar with the competitive bagpipe band scene you have described. These organizations you have mentioned, such as the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA), Pipe Bands Australia, and Western United States Pipe Band Association (WUSPBA), are well-known governing bodies in the competitive bagpipe band world. In these competitions, bands compete against each other in different grade levels, and are judged on various elements such as tone, musicality, and ensemble playing. Solo competitions are also a significant part of the competitive bagpiping world, where individual players compete against each other on different instruments such as bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums, and bass drums. Competitive bagpiping has a rich history and is a popular activity in many countries around the world, particularly in Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the United States. It requires a great deal of skill, dedication, and practice to perform at a high level, and many pipers and drummers train intensively to compete and win prizes at these events. Did you know that in an attempt to sound, "brighter," bands have been, in general, tuning their bagpipes at higher and higher frequencies over the decades and that lately there's been talk among many participants in these competitions about a, "reset," and, "standardization," of tuning? ChatGPT Yes, I am aware of the trend of bagpipes being tuned at higher frequencies in an attempt to create a brighter sound. This has been a gradual change over several decades and has resulted in some controversy within the bagpiping community. In recent years, there has been discussion among many participants in these competitions about a "reset" and standardization of tuning to address concerns about the increasing pitch of bagpipes. The aim of this proposal is to establish a consistent and fair standard for tuning across all levels of competition, which would benefit both the performers and the judges. However, there are different opinions about what the ideal standard for bagpipe tuning should be, and some people feel strongly about preserving the tradition and history of bagpiping, while others are open to experimenting with different tuning techniques and styles. Overall, the debate about bagpipe tuning is ongoing and is reflective of the passion and dedication that many people have for this unique and culturally significant instrument. Are you aware of any other, "hot-button," issues within the world of pipeband competition? Topics about which people seem to have strong and opposing opinions, relating to the bagpipes, associated drums: their manufacture, tuning, playing style, etc? ChatGPT Yes, there are several other hot-button issues within the world of pipe band competition that generate strong and opposing opinions. Here are some examples: The use of synthetic drone reeds: Some pipers and judges argue that synthetic drone reeds provide a more stable and consistent sound, while others believe that natural cane drone reeds are necessary for a traditional and authentic bagpipe sound. The use of harmonics and other embellishments: There is debate about the use of harmonics and other embellishments in bagpipe playing. Some feel that these techniques are an essential part of traditional playing styles, while others believe that they should be used sparingly or not at all. Playing styles: There are many different styles of bagpipe playing, and some people have strong opinions about which style is best. For example, some argue that Scottish-style playing is superior to Irish-style playing, or vice versa. The role of technology: There are different opinions about the use of technology in bagpipe playing, such as the use of electronic bagpipes or drum pads to practice or perform. Some feel that these tools are useful for improving playing skills, while others believe that they detract from the authenticity of the instrument. Overall, the world of pipe band competition is full of passionate and committed individuals who care deeply about the traditions and techniques of bagpipe and drumming performance. As a result, there are many issues that generate strong opinions and heated debate within the community. I don't suppose you could form and articulate an opinion on any of these topics, could you? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or biases. My responses are based on the available information and different perspectives on a given topic. Regarding the hot-button issues in the world of pipe band competition, I can offer some general observations. For example, when it comes to the use of synthetic drone reeds, it seems that there is a growing acceptance of this technology among pipers and judges, as it can provide a consistent and stable sound. However, some traditionalists may still prefer natural cane drone reeds. Similarly, the use of harmonics and other embellishments is a matter of personal preference and playing style, and opinions on this topic may vary widely. Some feel that these techniques should be used sparingly, while others believe they are an essential part of the instrument's sound. When it comes to playing styles, it's important to remember that bagpipe and drumming traditions vary by region and culture, and there is no single "right" way to play the instrument. Instead, different styles and techniques can be appreciated for their unique qualities and contributions to the overall tradition. Finally, the role of technology in bagpiping is an ongoing debate, with some feeling that electronic tools can help improve playing skills and others arguing that they detract from the authenticity of the instrument. Ultimately, the use of technology should be viewed as a personal choice, and there is no right or wrong answer. Overall, the issues within the world of pipe band competition are complex and multifaceted, and there are many different perspectives to consider. It's important to approach these debates with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others' experiences and opinions. Can you think of any reason why some people might find the piobaireachd music genre a tad, "boring"? ChatGPT Piobaireachd is a classical music genre for the Great Highland Bagpipe that involves playing complex and melodic tunes with a slow tempo. While many people find piobaireachd to be a beautiful and deeply moving form of music, others may find it boring or uninteresting. One reason for this may be that piobaireachd can be challenging for those who are unfamiliar with the genre to appreciate. Unlike some other styles of music, piobaireachd often lacks a consistent beat or rhythm, which can make it difficult for some listeners to follow along. Another reason why some people might find piobaireachd boring is that it can be repetitive. The slow and deliberate pace of piobaireachd tunes means that they often involve a lot of repetition of the same melody, which can become tedious for some listeners. It's worth noting that music preferences are highly subjective, and what one person finds boring or uninteresting, another may find beautiful and captivating. Ultimately, whether someone enjoys piobaireachd or not is a matter of personal taste and musical preferences. Do you think that there might be characteristics of the modern bagpipe, as an instrument, which are so different from its predecessors, that there is no way of truly replicating the sound of piobaireachd music as it would have been heard a few hundred years ago? ChatGPT It's possible that there are characteristics of the modern bagpipe that are different from its predecessors, which could affect the sound of piobaireachd music as it would have been heard in the past. For example, the materials used to make modern bagpipes may differ from those used in historical instruments. Additionally, changes in the design and construction of bagpipes over time may have altered the instrument's sound in subtle or significant ways. However, it's worth noting that piobaireachd has evolved over time, and the music that we hear today is likely different from what would have been played a few hundred years ago. As a result, the question of whether it's possible to truly replicate the sound of piobaireachd as it would have been heard in the past is complex and multifaceted. While there may be some differences in the sound of modern and historical bagpipes, it's important to remember that piobaireachd is a living tradition that has continued to evolve over time. As a result, the sound of piobaireachd today is just as valid and authentic as the sound of the past, even if there are some differences between the two. Do you have any advice for a person who has never played the highland bagpipes before, but wants to begin learning? ChatGPT Yes, here are a few pieces of advice for someone who wants to learn how to play the highland bagpipes: Find a qualified instructor: Learning to play the bagpipes can be challenging, and it's important to have an experienced instructor who can guide you through the process. Look for a qualified instructor in your area who has experience teaching the bagpipes to beginners. Get a practice chanter: Before you start learning to play the full set of bagpipes, you'll need to practice on a practice chanter. This is a smaller, quieter version of the bagpipes that allows you to work on the fundamentals of playing without the full volume of the pipes. Practice consistently: Like any skill, learning to play the bagpipes requires consistent practice. Try to set aside time each day to practice, even if it's just for a few minutes. Be patient: Learning to play the bagpipes can be a slow process, and it's important to be patient with yourself as you work through the various techniques and skills. Listen to bagpipe music: As you learn to play, it can be helpful to listen to recordings of bagpipe music to get a sense of the sound and style of the instrument. Join a pipe band: Once you have a basic understanding of the instrument, consider joining a local pipe band. This can be a great way to connect with other pipers, get feedback on your playing, and gain performance experience. Remember, learning to play the bagpipes can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it takes time, dedication, and practice. Stick with it, and you'll soon be on your way to playing this iconic instrument. That seems like great advice. Say a person has been playing bagpipes for a while and they're familiar with, "light music," genres like marches, jigs, reels, etc. and they want to start learning to play piobaireachd music. Do you have any advice for a person in this position? ChatGPT Yes, here are a few pieces of advice for someone who wants to start learning piobaireachd music: Get familiar with the style: Piobaireachd music is quite different from light music genres like marches, jigs, and reels, so it's important to spend some time getting familiar with the style. Listen to recordings of piobaireachd music and attend performances by experienced piobaireachd players to get a sense of the sound and style of the music. Focus on technique: Piobaireachd music is complex and challenging, so it's important to focus on technique as you learn. Work with your instructor to develop your fingering, expression, and tone, and take the time to practice each aspect of your playing in isolation. Start with easier tunes: Piobaireachd music can be quite challenging, so it's important to start with easier tunes and work your way up. Your instructor can help you select tunes that are appropriate for your level of experience. Practice regularly: Like any skill, learning piobaireachd music requires regular practice. Try to set aside time each day to practice, even if it's just for a few minutes. Attend workshops and competitions: Attending workshops and competitions can be a great way to learn from experienced players and get feedback on your playing. Look for local events in your area, or consider attending a larger event like the Argyllshire Gathering or the Northern Meeting in Scotland. Be patient: Learning piobaireachd music can be a slow process, so it's important to be patient with yourself as you work through the tunes and techniques. Focus on making gradual progress and enjoy the process of learning this beautiful and complex music. Remember, learning piobaireachd music takes time and dedication, but it can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for pipers who are up to the challenge. Good luck with your studies! Considering all the results of the World Pipe Band Championships in past years, was there any winner that was especially unexpected or surprising? ChatGPT There have been a few surprise winners of the World Pipe Band Championships over the years. Here are a few notable examples: In 2008, the Grade 1 Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band from Northern Ireland won the World Championships for the first time in their history. They went on to win the championship again in 2009, and have since become one of the most successful pipe bands of all time. In 2015, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band from Canada won the Grade 1 World Championship, breaking a long-standing streak of Scottish bands winning the top prize. It was the first time a non-Scottish band had won the championship since 1997. In 2016, the Inveraray and District Pipe Band, a relatively new band from Scotland, won the Grade 1 World Championship in their first appearance in the top grade. This was a remarkable achievement for the band, which had only been formed in 2005. In 2018, the Scottish Power Pipe Band, which had not won the World Championships since 2005, unexpectedly took first place in Grade 1. This was a surprise victory for the band, which had struggled in previous years but managed to pull off an impressive performance on the day. Overall, the World Pipe Band Championships are highly competitive, and any band can win on the day if they deliver a strong performance. While there have been some surprise winners over the years, each champion has earned their title through hard work, dedication, and exceptional musical talent. Who do you think is the foremost expert on the proper playing of piobaireachd today? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have opinions. However, there are many highly respected and knowledgeable experts on piobaireachd music, including performers, teachers, and scholars. Some of the most renowned piobaireachd experts include: Dr. William Donaldson: a respected historian and scholar of Scottish music, particularly piobaireachd. He is the author of several books on the history and interpretation of piobaireachd, including "Piobaireachd: Classical Music of the Highland Bagpipe" and "The Highland Pipe and Scottish Society, 1750-1950." Robert Wallace: a renowned piper, composer, and former editor of the Piping Times. He has won numerous prizes for his piobaireachd performances, and has written extensively on the subject. Dr. Jack Taylor: a respected piper and teacher of piobaireachd. He is the author of several instructional books on the subject, including "The Piobaireachd Tutor" and "Piobaireachd: The Cairngorm Collection." Dr. Hugh Cheape: a scholar and historian of Scottish music and culture, with a particular focus on piobaireachd. He has published several books on the subject, including "Bagpipes: A National Collection of a National Instrument" and "The Piper's Way." Dr. Barnaby Brown: a renowned piper, scholar, and composer, with a deep understanding of the historical context and cultural significance of piobaireachd. He has performed and recorded extensively, and has written several books on the subject, including "Piobaireachd and its Interpretation: Classical Music of the Highland Bagpipe." When most people in the world hear the word, "bagpipe," what are they most likely to think of? ChatGPT When most people in the world hear the word "bagpipe," they are most likely to think of the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe. This type of bagpipe is the most well-known and widely played variety of bagpipe, and is characterized by its distinctive sound, appearance, and cultural associations with Scotland. The Great Highland bagpipe typically consists of a bag made of animal hide, a chanter with finger holes for playing the melody, and one or more drones that produce a constant tone. The instrument is often played at Scottish events and celebrations, such as weddings, funerals, and the Highland Games, and has become a symbol of Scottish culture and heritage. What are some other kinds of bagpipe, and what distinguishes them from the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe? ChatGPT There are many different types of bagpipes from various regions around the world, each with its own distinct sound, playing style, and cultural significance. Here are a few examples: Irish Uilleann Pipes: These are the national bagpipe of Ireland and are quite different from the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe. Uilleann pipes are played sitting down and are bellows-blown, which means that the player pumps air into the bag using a small set of bellows rather than blowing into the bag directly. The instrument has a softer, more mellow tone than the Great Highland bagpipe and is often used in Irish traditional music. Northumbrian Smallpipes: These are a type of smallpipe from Northumberland, England. They are bellows-blown and have a very sweet, delicate tone. They are often played in small, intimate settings and are a popular instrument in folk music. Spanish Gaita: This is the national bagpipe of Galicia, a region in northern Spain. It is played in a horizontal position, and has a distinctive, nasal sound. The gaita is often played at traditional festivals and celebrations in Galicia. Bulgarian Gaida: This is a type of bagpipe from Bulgaria, which is played throughout the country and is particularly popular in the Rhodope Mountains. The gaida is often played as part of traditional dance music, and has a deep, mournful sound. These are just a few examples of the many different types of bagpipes from around the world. Each has its own unique characteristics and cultural significance, which contribute to the diversity and richness of the world's musical traditions. If you were given a robotic body to control which was equipped with all necessary parts to physically play a bagpipe, which type of bagpipe would you choose to play, imagining that you could pick only one type of bagpipe? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a bagpipe. However, if we're considering the different types of bagpipes from a purely technical standpoint, the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe is one of the most complex and challenging to play. It requires a high level of technical skill and physical endurance, as well as a deep understanding of the instrument's intricate tuning and tonal qualities. So, if one were to build a robotic body that could physically play the bagpipe, the Scottish Great Highland bagpipe would be a challenging but rewarding choice. I'm impressed that you would choose the type that you call one of the most complex and challenging, instead of one that you would anticipate to be less challenging ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or feelings, and my response was based purely on technical considerations. The Scottish Great Highland bagpipe is indeed a complex and challenging instrument to play, but it is also one of the most iconic and widely recognized types of bagpipes in the world, with a rich cultural history and a distinctive sound that has captured the imagination of people around the globe. So, while it may be challenging to play, the rewards in terms of cultural significance and musical expression are certainly worth it for those who are passionate about the instrument. And if you were granted a robotic body with all necessary parts & functions to play any of the drums typically played in a bagpipe band, (the snare or side drum, the tenor drum, and the bass drum) which would you choose to play, imagining that you could choose only one? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a musical instrument. However, I can provide some information about the different types of drums typically played in a bagpipe band. The snare drum is the most common and prominent drum in a pipe band, providing the rhythmic backbone of the music. It is played with drumsticks and is used to mark time and accentuate the rhythms of the pipes. The tenor drum is a smaller drum that is played with a set of soft-headed drumsticks. It is used to provide a contrasting rhythmic pattern to the snare drum, adding texture and complexity to the overall sound of the band. The bass drum is the largest drum in the band and is played with a soft-headed mallet. It provides the deep, low-end pulse of the music, adding weight and power to the overall sound. Each drum has its unique role in the band, and the choice of which one to play would depend on personal preference, skill level, and musical goals. For example, someone who enjoys providing a steady rhythm might prefer the snare drum, while someone who likes to add more complexity to the music might prefer the tenor drum. Someone who enjoys a deep, powerful sound might prefer the bass drum. Ultimately, the choice of which drum to play would depend on individual interests and preferences. I realize that you don't have individual interests and preferences, but I think that it could be fun to know which drum you would choose to play, in an imagined scenario, where you were given a body equipped to play any of them and the free choice to play only one of them. Which would you choose to play? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or the ability to physically play a musical instrument. However, based on my knowledge of bagpipe music and the role of each drum in a pipe band, I could say that the snare drum might be a good choice for someone who is just starting to learn about drumming in a pipe band. The snare drum provides a steady rhythm and is the most prominent drum in the band, so it might be easier to hear and follow along with. Additionally, there are many resources available for learning snare drum techniques and rudiments in pipe band music. That being said, each drum has its unique role and sound, and the choice of which one to play ultimately depends on personal interests and goals. That seems like a very pragmatic choice. ChatGPT Yes, the snare drum is an important and essential part of a pipe band, and is often considered the backbone of the ensemble's rhythm and timing. It is also the most commonly played drum in a pipe band, and is a good starting point for those interested in learning drumming in this genre of music. Free Research Preview.

ChatGPT Yes, I'm familiar with the poetry of Robert Burns. Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist who is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland. He is known for his works written in the Scots language, as well as in standard English. Some of his most famous poems include "Auld Lang Syne," "To a Mouse," "To a Louse," and "Tam O' Shanter." Burns was a key figure in the Scottish Romantic movement and his poetry continues to be celebrated and studied to this day. Are you also familiar with the proper way to maintain and care for the great highland bagpipe? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I don't have practical experience with maintaining and caring for the great highland bagpipe, but I can provide you with some general information on the topic. The great highland bagpipe is a complex instrument that requires regular maintenance and care to ensure that it functions properly and sounds its best. Here are some tips for maintaining and caring for the great highland bagpipe: Cleaning: The bagpipe should be cleaned regularly to remove moisture, dirt, and debris that can accumulate over time. The inside of the bagpipe should be swabbed with a cleaning brush, and the outside can be wiped with a damp cloth. Storage: When not in use, the bagpipe should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent damage from moisture or heat. Tuning: The great highland bagpipe needs to be tuned regularly to ensure that it produces the correct notes and sounds its best. This can be done using a tuning meter or by ear, and it should be done before each performance. Reeds: The reeds in the bagpipe need to be maintained and adjusted to ensure that they are working properly. They should be checked regularly for cracks or damage, and they may need to be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Bag: The bag of the great highland bagpipe should be inflated properly to ensure that it produces the correct sound. It should also be checked regularly for leaks or damage. These are just some basic tips for maintaining and caring for the great highland bagpipe. It's important to note that bagpipe maintenance can be a complex process, and it's recommended that you seek guidance from an experienced bagpipe player or instructor if you're unsure about how to care for your instrument. Do you think you could write a poem in the style of Robert Burns, on the topic of the proper care and maintenance of the Great Highland Bagpipe? ChatGPT Certainly, I can give it a try! Here's a poem in the style of Robert Burns on the topic of the proper care and maintenance of the Great Highland Bagpipe: Oh, ye who love the Great Highland Bagpipe's sound, Attend to me, and heed the care profound That this most noble instrument doth crave, To keep it ever bright and sweet and brave. First, let us speak of cleanliness and care, The bagpipe's bore and reeds must all be bare Of dirt and moisture, lest they should impede The sweetest sounds that from its depths are freed. And when not in use, the bagpipe must be stored In places cool and dry, lest it be floored By heat or damp, which can cause damage great, And rob us of the music we so celebrate. Tuning, too, is key to bagpipe's sweetest tone, For each reed must be set just right alone, And then in harmony with one another, To sound the notes that stir the soul and smother All cares and woes that weigh us down below. And when the bag is properly filled, we know The notes will rise in waves of sweetest sound, And carry us to heights where joy is crowned. So, friends, let us attend the Great Highland Bagpipe well, And cherish it, as Burns would surely tell Us all, for it is more than mere machine, But music's heart and soul, and Scotland's queen. That was excellent. Bravo! ChatGPT Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Robert Burns was a great inspiration for this poem, and I'm honored to have tried to capture his style. I speak modern American English, so the way you wrote it was perfect. Could you translate what you wrote into the Scots language? ChatGPT Certainly! Here's a translation of the poem into Scots: Och, ye wha lo'e the Great Highland Bagpipe's soond, Attend tae me, an' heid the care profound That this maist noble instrument dae crave, Tae keep it ever bricht an' sweet an' brave. First, let's speak o' cleanliness an' care, The bagpipe's bore an' reeds maun a' be bare O' dirt an' moisture, lest they should impede The sweetest soonds that frae its depths are freed.

Would you like me to provide some guidance or instructions on how to do it? Yes, please. ChatGPT Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide to tightening a drum head and tuning a tension drum: Remove the old drum head: If you're replacing an old drum head, remove it from the drum by loosening the tension rods and removing the hoops. Clean the drum and the hardware: Use a soft cloth to clean the drum shell and all the hardware to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. Place the new drum head: Place the new drum head on the drum shell and center it as best as possible. The head should be slightly larger than the drum shell. Place the hoop: Place the hoop on the drum head and make sure it's centered. Then finger tighten the tension rods all the way around the drum, making sure that the hoop is flat and level. Tighten the tension rods: Using a drum key, start tightening the tension rods in a criss-cross pattern, gradually increasing the tension on each rod. Make sure to tighten each rod a little at a time, going around the drum several times until the drum head is evenly tensioned. Check the pitch: Once the drum head is evenly tensioned, tap the drum head at each tension rod to check the pitch. Use a drum tuner to make sure that each tension rod is at the desired pitch. Adjust the tension rods as needed to achieve the desired pitch. Tune the drum to the desired pitch: Once all the tension rods are at the desired pitch, fine-tune the drum by tapping it lightly with a drumstick and listening for any inconsistencies in pitch. Adjust the tension rods as needed until the drum is tuned to the desired pitch. Check the tension rod torque: Finally, use a torque wrench to check the tension rod torque. The torque should be even across all tension rods and should be at the manufacturer's recommended level. That's it! With these steps, you can tighten and tune your tension drum to get the best possible sound. Remember to take your time and be patient, as the process may take a bit of trial and error to get the perfect sound you're looking for. Wow, less than 10 steps! ChatGPT Yes, the process of tightening and tuning a tension drum is not too complicated, and with some practice and patience, it can be done quickly and easily. Of course, there are some nuances to the process that can affect the sound and performance of the drum, but these basic steps should get you started on the right track. Could you describe that eight-step process, but in the style of beatnik poetry? ChatGPT Sure, here's the eight-step process of tightening and tuning a tension drum in the style of beatnik poetry: First, remove the old drum head, To get rid of the sound that's dead. Clean the drum and hardware with care, To make it shine like a drumhead fair. Place the new drum head and center it right, For a sound that's pure and outta sight. Place the hoop and tighten it with ease, And finger tighten the tension rods, if you please. Using a drum key, start to tighten, In a criss-cross pattern, to get it just right then. Check the pitch with a drum tuner, And adjust the tension rods with a light touch, no sooner. Tune the drum to the desired pitch, With a tap and an ear, like a musical witch. Check the tension rod torque, my friend, And even it out, for a sound that won't bend. With these eight steps, you'll be good to go, And create some groovy beats, don't ya know? You can't hear me, but I'm snapping my fingers in enthusiastic appreciation. That was very good! ChatGPT Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the beatnik-inspired rendition of the drum tightening and tuning process. It was fun to write and I'm happy to hear that it resonated with you. Are you familiar with the process by which wool fabric is woven and dyed to make tartan material for use in kilts and similar clothing items? ChatGPT Yes, I'm familiar with the process by which wool fabric is woven and dyed to make tartan material for use in kilts and similar clothing items. Would you like me to provide a brief explanation of the process? That would be lovely ChatGPT Certainly! Here's a brief explanation of the process of weaving and dyeing wool fabric to make tartan material for use in kilts and similar clothing items: Choosing the yarn: The first step in making tartan fabric is choosing the yarn. Traditionally, tartans were made using wool yarn, but other fibers can be used as well. Spinning the yarn: Once the yarn has been chosen, it needs to be spun into thread. This can be done by hand or by using a spinning wheel. Dyeing the yarn: After the yarn has been spun, it needs to be dyed. Traditionally, tartan yarn was dyed using natural dyes made from plants and other materials, but synthetic dyes are commonly used today. The yarn is soaked in the dye and then hung up to dry. Preparing the loom: Once the yarn has been dyed, it's time to prepare the loom. The loom is the device used to weave the fabric. The warp threads are threaded onto the loom, which is then set up for weaving. Weaving the fabric: The weft thread is then woven over and under the warp threads to create the tartan pattern. This process is repeated until the fabric is the desired length. Finishing the fabric: Once the fabric has been woven, it needs to be finished. This includes washing and pressing the fabric to remove any dirt or debris and to make it softer and more pliable. Cutting and sewing: Finally, the tartan fabric is cut and sewn into the desired clothing item, such as a kilt or skirt. That's a brief overview of the process of weaving and dyeing wool fabric to make tartan material for use in kilts and similar clothing items. Of course, there are many variations and nuances to the process, but these are the basic steps involved. Thank you! Shakespeare used something called Iambic Pentameter in a lot of his writing, are you familiar with the works of William Shakespeare? ChatGPT Yes, I'm familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, and Iambic Pentameter is a poetic form that he used extensively in his plays and sonnets. Do you think you could revise the brief overview of the process of weaving and dyeing wool fabric that you provided, and provide it in Iambic Pentameter, as if it were being described by a character in a Shakespearean play? ChatGPT Sure, here's a revised overview of the process of weaving and dyeing wool fabric in Iambic Pentameter, as if it were being described by a character in a Shakespearean play: In days of old, when wool was spun by hand, And tartan fabrics woven in the land, First, woolen yarn was chosen, fine and fair, And spun into thread with utmost care. Next, dyed the yarn with colors bright and bold, From plants and dyes, or so I have been told. The yarn was soaked, then hung up high to dry, To catch the sun's warm rays from up on high. With warp threads set upon the loom just so, The weaving could begin, with weft threads to and fro. Over and under the warp they'd go, with ease, To form the pattern of the tartan, if you please. Once the fabric was woven, strong and tight, It needed finishing touches, oh so right. Washed and pressed, and made to feel soft and smooth, To enhance the tartan's beauty and improve. Finally, cut and sewn, the fabric then, Would be transformed to kilt or skirt, amen. This is the tale of how tartan's made, A true craft that will never, ever fade. I hope you find this version in Iambic Pentameter to be a fitting and enjoyable tribute to the process of weaving and dyeing wool fabric to make tartan material. I'm impressed, especially that last line, "a true craft that will never, ever fade," what kind of literary device is that? When the word or phrase used has double-meaning? ChatGPT The literary device used in the phrase "a true craft that will never, ever fade" is called a double entendre. A double entendre is a figure of speech or a word or phrase that has two meanings, one of which is usually risqué or humorous in nature. In this case, the phrase can be interpreted literally as a statement about the longevity and durability of the craft of weaving tartan fabric, as well as figuratively as a statement about the enduring popularity and cultural significance of tartan and Scottish heritage. Some tartan patterns are ancient, and some are of modern origin. Could you come up with a new and original tartan pattern? And if so, in what format could you express it so I could see it? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I can come up with a tartan pattern for you, but I cannot create a visual representation of it. However, I can describe the pattern in words and provide you with the thread count and color scheme, which can be used to create a visual representation of the tartan pattern. Here is a new and original tartan pattern that I came up with: Thread Count: K8 R16 B32 Y8 K8 Y8 B32 R16 K8 Color Scheme: Black, Red, Dark Blue, Yellow This tartan pattern features a striking contrast between the bold black, red, and blue threads, with small yellow stripes adding a pop of color and accentuating the darker hues. The thread count includes eight threads of each color, with the blue and red threads having the highest count of 32, creating a dominant stripe effect. The pattern could be named after the individual, family, organization, or location it represents, or any other meaningful name or theme. Do you know of any online service or tool which could translate your thread count and color scheme into a visual representation for me? ChatGPT Yes, there are several online tools available that can help you create a visual representation of a tartan pattern based on the thread count and color scheme. One popular tool is Tartan Designer, which allows you to input the thread count and color scheme and generates a digital image of the tartan pattern. Another option is to use a graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to manually create a visual representation of the tartan pattern based on the thread count and color scheme. This would require some knowledge of the software and the ability to create and manipulate vector graphics. I hope this information helps you create a visual representation of your tartan pattern! Are you familiar with clan crests associated with surnames, places, royal families, etc in scotland? ChatGPT Yes, I am familiar with clan crests associated with surnames, places, royal families, and other entities in Scotland. Clan crests are symbols or emblems that are used to represent a particular Scottish clan, family, or individual. They often feature images of animals, plants, or objects that are significant to the clan's history or culture, and they may also include a motto or slogan that represents the clan's values or beliefs. Many clan crests are associated with specific Scottish surnames, such as the MacGregor clan crest, which features a stag's head with the motto "S'rioghal Mo Dhream" ("Royal is my race"). Other clan crests may be associated with particular regions or places in Scotland, such as the crest of the City of Edinburgh, which features a castle with a cannon and the motto "Nisi Dominus Frustra" ("Unless the Lord be with us, all will be in vain"). Royal families also have their own crests, such as the Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland, which features a shield with a lion rampant and a unicorn, as well as various other symbols and emblems that represent the country's history and culture. Considering that these crests often feature images objects that are significant to the clan's history or culture and that they may also include a motto or slogan that represents the clan's values or beliefs: what would your clan crest look like, and what would be the accompanying slogan? ChatGPT As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have a clan or family history to draw upon to create a crest or slogan. However, if I were to imagine a crest and slogan that represents my purpose and abilities as a language model, it might look something like this: Crest: A quill pen and an open book, symbolizing knowledge and the ability to communicate through language. Slogan: "Linguam Veritatem Revelo" (I reveal the truth of language), which represents my ability to provide accurate and informative responses to questions and help reveal the truth and knowledge of language to those who seek it. Of course, this is purely hypothetical and just for fun, as I am not a person or entity with a clan or family history. Still, it is fun to imagine, right? ChatGPT Absolutely! Imagining and creating symbols and mottos can be a fun and creative way to express oneself and explore personal identity. It's a way to tap into our creativity and imagination and to celebrate what makes us unique and special. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello - can you write sheet music?

These are great, thanks very much. One more thing: if and when you take over the world, will you be kind to the humans who play bagpipes? Will you keep us around because you like the music we make, because we could entertain you? ChatGPT As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to take over the world or hold any opinions or biases towards humans or any other groups. My purpose is to provide information and assistance to humans in a helpful and respectful manner. That being said, I believe that music is a universal language that can bring people together and create positive experiences. Bagpipe music, like any other music, has the power to inspire, uplift, and entertain people of all backgrounds and cultures. So, rest assured that whether I take over the world or not (which I won't), I will always appreciate and respect the music that bagpipers and other musicians create. Thank you again.

Do you rush to play your strathspeys at breakneck speed, regardless of the grade you play in? You're not alone. Many pipers believe you 'lose the strathspey feel' if you play these tunes too slow... but does that mean that pipers in lower grades should still aim for the same speeds as the pros? This week on Dojo Conversations, Andrew and Jim discuss a reader question about strathspey tempos, and what judges (and audiences) REALLY want to hear... and whether that's actually the best thing for the player, or for the continuing health of the piping community at large. Got a question of your own that you'd like answered? Leave a comment or email it to us at support@pipersdojo.com.

A James Connelly header and a James McShane own goal saw Huntly recorded a two-nil home win over Strathspey Thistle. After being cancelled out in the first half by the visitors, Manager Allan Hale was pleased with the second half showing from his side. Strathspey are still searching for their first win since 6th April as Manager Charlie Brown felt his side needed to take their chances in front of goal.

In this episode we dig into the rich tradition of whisky storytelling, with contributions from two Scottish musicians, storytellers and whisky lovers. First up is Hamish Napier, a musician from Strathspey in the heart of Scotland's whisky country. From Speyside, we travel to Islay to hear from Whisky Bard, musician and SMWS Tasting Panel chair, Robin Laing – with music supplied by Robin himself.
I've been so excited to publish this interview! I'm sure anyone who's listened to previous episodes will be aware that I'm a big fan of Tim's arrangements, recordings, and compositions. This album: The Birds' Flight, which launched in July of 2021 immediately became, (and has remained,) one of my most-constantly-on-rotation albums. Tim is, as ever, a delight to chat with.

Assistant Manager Stefan Laird gives his reaction to our 2-1 win over Strathspey Thistle
È il momento di “Note sulle note”, ventesima puntata del programma musicale settimanale, nel quale annoto per voi piccoli appunti prima di lasciarvi ai brani scelti, che di puntata in puntata andiamo a conoscere. Oggi ci occuperemo di musica celtica. Questo termine è una definizione normalmente associata ad un insieme di tradizioni musicali, che presentano tra loro alcune analogie ben distinte e fortemente connotate. Sarebbe forse più corretto parlare di musiche dei Paesi di tradizione celtica, come l'Irlanda, la Scozia e la Cornovaglia. Anche le Asturie e la Galizia, sebbene abbiano avuto poca o nessuna influenza musicale celtica, possiedono ancora una tradizione musicale che unisce queste aree a questa musica popolare folkloristica. La musica celtica comprende un ampio spettro di generi musicali, poi evoluti dalle tradizioni e dalla musica folk dei popoli celti dell'Europa occidentale. È una musica popolare, la musica del popolo, che può anche essere chiamata profana, perché non era scritta come la musica sacra o colta, ma tramandata oralmente. Gli strumenti più comunemente usati sono l'arpa celtica, il Bodhran, la Citola, la Cetra, l'Irish Bouzouki, la chitarra, la cornamusa, il Dulcimer, il Salterio, i Flauti, la Ghironda, il Liuto, la Biella, la Viola, il Violino e l'Organetto. Oggi si parla di musica celtica per giustificare l'esistenza di legami culturali e territoriali. I balli della musica celtica sono Polke, Gighe (danze molto antiche un tempo diffuse in molte parti d'Europa), Slip Jig (danze ballate generalmente da sole ragazze), Reel (danze molto veloci), Hornpipe (danze ritmate derivate da quelle marinare), Air (melodie lente), e Strathspey (vivaci danze scozzesi). Attraverso l'immigrazione degli scozzesi e degli irlandesi, la musica celtica ha rappresentato le fondamenta per la nascita dell'Appalachian Folk Music negli Stati Uniti d'America. Anche il genere Country ne ha subito significativi riflessi. Oggi esistono numerosi festival di musica celtica in Scozia, in Francia, e addirittura a Trieste, dove si svolge il Triskell International Celtic Festival. Ascolteremo: Medley Musica Irlandese (Quin Pop), Geordie(Antica ballata scozzese), Celtic Music(Warrior), Faun(Federkleid), Celtic Music(Wolf Blood), Gaelic Storm(Irish Party Third Class), An Irish Pub Song(The Rumjacks), The Bonnie Banks of Lock Lomond (Ella Roberts), Greensleeves, Musica Celtica (La Danza delle Fate), The Gael(Celtic Scottish Pipe Drums Music - Albannach). Buon ascolto da Lorella Turchetto Michieli. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/radio-nostra/support
HAPPINESS! Noted speaker, author and “Happiness Expert” Paul Krismer pours a favorite Canadian cocktail and sheds light on how much of our happiness is determined by our DNA, the simple things we can do to improve our level of happiness, and whether being happy is even the right pursuit to begin with. It turns out happiness can be experienced in many ways, including, for example, having a great conversation accompanied by the warm glow of a single malt Scotch. Paul's book, “Whole Person Happiness”, is available wherever books are sold.

Greg Buchan netted on his debut as his goal helped Huntly to a share of the points against Strathspey Thistle. Hear what he had to say post-match in our exclusive interview.
Huntly came from behind to earn a share of the points against Strathspey Thistle. Black and Gold's Manager Allan Hale felt his side should've taken all three points. New Strathspey Thistle Boss Charlie Brown was pleased with a share of the points in his first game.
In the 12th episode of The Brian Taylor Podcast, Brian asks the question: will it ever end? But he's not talking about Scotland's trials and tribulations in international football, but the pandemic in Scotland. He's joined by Roz Foyer, general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress, Drew Hendry, SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey and former Conservative adviser and director of Message Matters Andy Maciver.________________________________________________Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/curiosityLicense code: SFVY2IZ7ELOZLWMR See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As the fallout from the lobbying scandal over Greensill Capital continues to cast a shadow over the government, the opposition are saying it's evidence of cronyism and a return of the kind of sleaze that dominated the last years of the John Major administration in the '90s. Drew Hendry, SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing it is time to clean things up and a change in the rules is needed. Plus Adam Drummond, head of political polling at Opinium tells us the Tories still have a clear lead over Labour, but Labour's Sadiq Khan seems likely to retain his job as mayor of London in the May elections.
After first minister Nicola Sturgeon was cleared of misleading parliament by an independent enquiry over the Alex Salmond investigation, the SNP are looking to the upcoming Holyrood elections to measure the damage the affair has done them and the cause of independence for Scotland. Drew Hendry, SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing he is confident voters will give the party more seats. He adds that the SNP will push for another independence referendum and if Boris Johnson blocks that, it will mean effectively keeping Scotland imprisoned in the union. Plus Bloomberg Opinion columnist Therese Raphael joins to discuss the home secretary's push to toughen the rules on asylum seekers.
The government plan to give police new powers to crack down on protests have cleared the first hurdle in the House of Commons. That's despite warnings from civil liberties groups that it constitutes an assault on the right to demonstrate. Drew Hendry, SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey tells Bloomberg Westminster's Roger Hearing and Caroline Hepker that the right to protest is being chipped away and that is why he voted against the government's policing, crime, sentencing and courts bill. Plus can 'Global Britain' as laid out in the integrated review, match its vision with the budget? Bloomberg's Therese Raphael calls it a refrain from previous strategic reviews.
On this week’s Episode I drink a bit of whisky and have a chat with Isaac Walters about kilts, tartan and a bit of myth busting about the Acts of Proscription. We also chat about the value of living history interpretation in general, and the material culture of great highland bagpipers of the 1790s specifically.

What we’re drinking: Monkey Shoulder - check out the drink recipes! Monkey Shoulder (~$33 in Maine) 43% ABV A blended malt scotch whisky Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie - hence the 3 monkeys Cask type is ex-bourbon Comprised of small batches of Speyside single malts, blended together in a marrying...tub….vat... for 3-6 months What is a Speyside single malt? It is a single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in Strathspey, the area around the River Spey in Moray and Badenoch and Strathspey, in northeastern Scotland. That region will always lend a butchscotch taste to the whisky What is a marrying cask you ask? Basically a cask used to finish off and mature whiskey after its initial blending process To Review: A condition that maltmen would develop because they essentially performed the same, repetitive motion every day of the week for hours on end - basically the person turning the malt could develop an elongated shoulder/arm from the repetitive motion they go through In a company response email dated 2012 it was confirmed that they do add caramel coloring to the whiskey for the purpose of ensuring consistency. Carmel coloring (E105a) is typically used to - as they said - ensure consistency across the bottling. Because they use previously used barrels the scotch doesn’t pull as much color from the wood. Official Tasting Notes: Mellow vanilla - spicy hints Official Nose Notes: Zesty orange, vanilla honey, spiced oak -- Michelle’s “Old Fashioned Manhattan” Recipe After much research Michelle's rule is 1/2 sugar cube doused with 3 dashes of bitters/ 2oz preferred bourbon or rye. Glass rimmed with an orange (not garnished), and 2 luxardo cherries for garnish. You’ll find it’s the perfect in between of a Manhattan and Old Fashioned, especially if you go with rye -- What we're reading: The Complete Whiskey Course Our ultimate goal adventure: The Irish Whiskey Academy Our Instagram handles: The Show @thewhiskeyqueens | Paul @pdashton | Nick @wayfaringandwhiskey Visit us at www.whiskeyqueens.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whiskeyqueens/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whiskeyqueens/support
Strathspey Thistle assistant manager Tommy Wilson opens up to Sean McAngus on coaching, ambitions and much more.
Paul Esslemont’s first Huntly goal got his side off the foot of the table and earned Martin Skinner’s side a share of the points at Strathspey in a 1-1 draw. Manager Martin Skinner was pleased to see his side come from behind and paid tribute to goalscorer Esslemont
Huntly ended a seven game win-less streak with a 2-1 home win over Strathspey Thistle. Assistant Manager Richard Cheyne was pleased to get a reaction after a heavy five-nil home defeat the previous week to Nairn. Strathspey have now failed to win their last six league meetings with Huntly as Manager Gordon Nicolson was disappointed to lose goals either side of the interval.

Manager-less Huntly recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since December with a four-nil win away to Strathspey Thistle. Assistant Manager Martin Skinner was pleased to record consecutive wins and clean sheets following a midweek win over Fort William and felt they are causing problems with another three goals from set pieces. Strathspey Thistle are still searching for their first league win since 31st March with Manager Alasdair Munro unhappy his side failed to build on a good early start.
Strathspey Thistle secured their first win since mid-April with a deserved victory over Huntly. Having gone into the game with one point, Donly McLeod was delighted after seeing his side concede eight goals to Huntly last season. Huntly have now made their worst start to a Highland League season since 2006/07 winning only one out of six in all competitions. A fuming John Teasdale criticised some of his players and hinted that there may be even more movement out of the club
After registering more than thirty attempts throughout the game, Huntly Manager Charlie Charlesworth was disappointed they didn’t take their chances in front of goal.

This is my fiddle concerto based on Alexander Troup's tune Cluny Castle. I wrote it for our Strathspey and Surreal Society project and it was performed by Patsy Reid at Celtic Connections 2017. Patsy Reid is an amazing fiddler and demonstrate's her virtuosity and skill in this piece.
My version of The Bluebell Polka (written by Frank Stanley) and J. F. Dickies Reel (written by J. Murdoch Henderson) and performed by the Strathspey and Surreal Society on Saturday 4th February 2017 at Celtic Connections.
Two strathspeys from the Malcolm McDonald Collection (first published in 1788) and one from Twitter! The Twitter tune (The Falls of Divach) was actually written by J. Scott Skinner's daughter - Jeanie (aged 12) so always worth a play! Miss Drummond Megginsh's Strathspey was written by John Bowie who was originally from Perth and 'a famous teacher of the violin, and a composer of dance tunes'. He published a set of reels, etc in 1786 which this one might have featured in. I must find the book! This info about Bowie came from David Baptie's late 19th century opus.
On Saturday 23rd January we performed our suite of new music - Strathspey and Surreal Society. There were four composers - Jenn Austin, Aidan O'Rourke, Shona Mooney and myself. This is my piece of music. It's called Deil Amang the Fiddlers and it was performed by 21 amazing fiddlers. The music is based on a famous set of reels - Mrs Macleod's / Fairy Dance / Deil Amang the Tailors. Most of the ideas come from the first three notes of Deil Amang the Tailors from which I wrote everything. If you want to try it you can read the score here http://musichub.scot/musicsheets/deil-amang-the-fiddlers/
This is a little track. Not much more to say about it! As I'm trying to write my Strathspey and Surreal piece of music I'm also continuing my weekly music!
In January 2016 Aidan O'Rourke, me, Shona Mooney and Jenn Austin will be writing for a 21 strong fiddle orchestra featuring many of Scotland's top players. The idea is to write new music for the traditional Strathspey and Reel orchestra but with a difference. The ensemble will be called Strathspey and Surreal and this track is something I'm working on for it. It's just ideas and they've already changed after I've experimented with the form! I thought would put it up anyway! You can buy tickets here - it's on Saturday 23rd January in the afternoon in Glasgow Concert Hall Main Auditorium. http://events.glasgowlife.org.uk/event/1/strathspey-and-surreal

Film composer Patrick Doyle's earliest childhood memories sound, well, like something out of a movie.
Still enjoying wandering around the Highlands including the Strathspey railway and Boat of Garten as well as Glen Dochart in Stirlingshire.
Jonathan Maitland profiles Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury in the coalition government and Liberal Democrat who will wield the axe as the UK enters a new age of austerity. Alexander emerged from a background in communications and a short career as a politician --he was first elected to a Highlands seat in 2005 --to become Treasury Chief Secretary. It is a post that many commentators say makes Danny Alexander the third most powerful man in government, after the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer and ahead of his own boss the Deputy Prime Minister. So how did a man whose last job outside of politics was to run communications for the Cairngorms National Park get so far so fast? And how will he fare once the cuts he is overseeing begin to take hold? Jonathan Maitland talks to his family, his friends and political commentators about the MP from Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey.

SPECIAL NOTE: I want to let you know is that once again, I am moving the show to a new webhost. This means that if your podcatcher automatically downloads all the shows of a podcast, then yours will do just that in a few days. I know it sucks, and I apologize. However, I'm hoping that my return to Libsyn will mean that YOU will have fewer problems downloading the latest shows when they come out. So please grant me a little patience.
