Gillian and Joe Wheadon have been very kind to us in our German visits. Being tour guides, driving us everywhere and being great fun. This is a present for them. Recommended tune is “Red Plaid” (traditional) and I particularly like the set “Red Plaid/The Iron Man/The Banks of Spey” from Peter Elmes recording of “Glenys Pearce’s Strathspey” from the Lochiel Collection. Should this not be available, I would recommended tune “Miss Janet Laing’s Strathspey” by Nan Main, and either of the society’s recordings for book 22 would be good. Failing that use any reasonable recording of “The Balmoral Strathspey”.
