TOW#26: Tigh Na Gorm

[Jack Campin]

"The Heights of Dargai" doesn't just predate "Tigh na Gorm", it predates the battle it commemorates. It was first called "The Dagshai Hills" and renamed. Dagshai is hundreds of miles away from Dargai. Both have rather more exciting histories than any place deserves to be on the receiving end of (Dargai in particular - floods and suicide bombings lately).

This is probably not what you might expect music from Dargai to be like:

Thanks Jack: always learning.
Found an original bagpipe score for Heights of Dargai via ABC tune finder: slightly different from the version you posted.
Being mixolydian (?) this one fits well on the Highlander harmonica. PDF attached.
