| Added by magataganm, 30 Oct 2013 Going east into the inlets and past rocky islands on the western shores of Scotland lies the small village of An t-Arar [An Tairbeart Iar] located near the head of Loch Long in the Argyll and Bute area. The English pronounce this village as Arrochar (ARR-u-khar). The village is overlooked by a group of mountains called the “Arrochar Alps,” with a distinctive rocky mountain summit called “The Cobbler.” Arrochar is often called the “twin” of Tarbet, and both towns share a railway station located near the high point of the valley that connects the two villages. Traditionally, the western end of Arrochar marks the boundary of Argyllshire and Dunbartonshire. However, in 1996, the boundaries were redrawn bringing the whole area into Argyll and Bute. The well-known tune from this area is “Maids of Arrochar.” It is an easy going jig (6/8) dance tune with an almost fluttering beat giving it a light and airy feel similar to a waltz. Although this work was originally written for Folk Instruments, I created this arrangement for Flute & Concert (Pedal) Harp. | |||
