Macpherson Melodies

Pipe Tunes Associated With Macphersons

The Clan Macpherson has a number of pipe tunes associated with it in both historical and modern times. Unfortunately, many of these are not in the repertorie of the average pipe band.: For example, three of the Clan's tunes:

  • Creag Dhubh Chlann Chatain (The Black Rock of Clanchattan)
  • Failte Loch Duthaich (Welcome to Loch Duich)
  • Cumha Chlunaigh (Lament for Cluny Macpherson)
are seldom heard outside of clan gatherings and only then when a piper who knows them is available.

This page is an attempt to make at least some of the pipe tunes associated with the Clan Macpherson as well as Macphersons in general available for your listening pleasure. This is not an exhaustive list by any means. Indeed, the three tunes mentioned above are not here though we hope to have that rectified before too long. All of the bagpipe MIDI files are courtesy of Bagpipes at Best and we hope that the author of this site will continue to add to the collection. Also included is the Bluegrass version of Macpherson's Lament that serves as the theme music for this site. To listen to ant of the tunes, simply click on the thistle to the left of the name.
