Ahh... neither Scotland nor Scottish playing.. but a tune from there I believe.  Have a chuckle on me.. espe ially with my soundscapes the 2nd time around.  In all seriousness though, a beautiful tune i cannot play well, but gave it a go.

Beautiful playing, I agree with Emily think you really captured it, couldnt tell you if its Scotland though, believe it or not I have only ever been to Edinburgh and Stirling, never been to the Highlands.

Edinburgh is spectacular, very touristy though obviously. the landscape around Stirling, like something from Lord of the Rings, the highlands really do rise straight from the plain. Have to go to the highlands one day my friend used to go every year.

Great stuff, love your vids. Very atmospheric.

Liked the sound of the water, great touch, for some reason reminded of Banshees of Inisherin, was watching that again the other night.

Geeze, @ABitRusty You did it again. My mind just went into this. I was picturing a young bride from a fishing village at the shore waiting for her new husband to come back from a fishing trip when there was, maybe, a storm. Then, it was like other towns people joined in. 

You said you could not play it well. I have to beg tp differ! You played it perfectly. How absolutely lovely. Thank you.
