Again, recorded from my laptop using the built in MIC.
The Highland Cathedral (source wikipedia)
Highland Cathedral is a popular melody for the great highland bagpipe. This melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany. It has been proposed as the Scottish national anthem to replace unofficial anthems Scotland the Brave and/or Flower of Scotland. It has subsequently undergone various orchestrations and had lyrics added in English and in Scottish Gaelic.
The tune was the Royal Hong Kong Police Anthem under the British rule which ended in 1997. It was played at a ceremonial lowering of the Governor's flag at Chris Patten's residence, Government House on the last day of British rule. Highland Cathedral is Chris Patten's favourite pipe tune as said by himself on a BBC Asia Today programme. It is also a popular wedding song. The tune is played before all Scottish international rugby matches at Murrayfield in Scotland.
