The Barrowburn Reel

Here are two different recordings of the Barrowburn Reel. The first selection is a recording by the Gordon Gunn Band, and the second is a performance by Mhairi MacKinnon (fiddle), and Marianne Fraser (guitar) of Plockton. Several recordings have been made of this modern dance tune. It was originally composed by Addie Harper Sr., of the Wick Scottish Country Dance Band.
