Re: The Sinclair's March

["Donald Sinclair" <dmsin@mpx.com.au>]

A h-uile duine
Juli there is a piping tune called "The Carles wi' the Breeks"
It's a Campbell tune but it is suppose to be a direct reference to the
Sinclairs.
It was made around the time of the Sinclair / Campbell feud in the
1670's.The story goes that the Campbells had never seen any men wearing
trousers ( Breeks)
before, and it gave them a bit of a laugh.

"Spaidsearachd Mhic nan Cearda" My gaelic dictionary translates this as "The
Sinclairs Strut"!!
