Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band's Captain Carswell MSR at the 2022 UK Championships

This is Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band playing at the RSPBA's UK Pipe Band Championships held for the second time in Lurgan in Northern Ireland. The band is led by Pipe Major Emmett Conway, and the Lead Drummer is Andrew Lawson. The band was drawn first to play on an wet and windy afternoon.
Tunes played are:
March: Captain Carswell [William Lawrie, (1881 - 1916)]
Strathspey: The Cameronian Rant (traditional)
Reel: The Smith of Chilliechassie (traditional)
Shotts and Dykehead were placed fifth in the Grade One competition. Full results for the day's competitions can be found at the RSPBA's website at rspba.org: bit.ly/3QfP4MZ.
Captain Carswell is a 4 part 2/4 march by William Lawrie. It makes its first appearance on this channel in this recording. You can find a bagpipe setting in the Scots Guards Collection Book 2. There is a non-bagpipe setting at bit.ly/3zvBDmi which is substantially the same tune.
There's a short biography and an appreciation of his music at pipetunes.ca/c....

Hi Caelan. Well spotted. I didn't notice myself until I started work on the video. Best wishes, DC.
