Strathspeys and a Reel: Lady Mary Ramsay/Calum's Road/Hut on Staffin Island

Strathspey: Lady Mary Ramsay composed by Nathaniel Gow, published in 1800
Strathspey: Calum's Road composed by Donald Shaw in 1987.
Reel: Hut on Staffin Island composed by Phil Cunningham in 1984.

Calum's Road was written in honor of one Calum MacLeod of Raasay, who, built a two-mile road to his croft by himself by hand, after the local council refused to supply him with one. It took him ten years to complete it.

Hut on Staffin Island was written after a windsurfing incident where Cunningham needed rescue by salmon fishermen, who took him to a fishing hut on Staffin Island (a small island off the northeast coast of Skye) and gave him Guinness.
