Maggie Lauder - this traditional tune is for a comic song written by Francis Semple of Beltrees around 1642. The song is a duet between 'Rob the Ranter' (a border piper) and Maggie a lassie from the Burgh of Lauder. The second tune in the set is Corn Riggs are Bonny another old traditional tune used by Robert Burns for a song. The third tune is a march composed by A. Macleod but we play it as a wild reel for dancing. It is the tune used for the Reel of the 51st Division. We end the set with the traditional Border reel 'Roxburgh Castle" commemorating the once mighty Border fortress near Kelso now reduced to rubble.
