Cairteal Mìle - A Quarter Mile

Composed for Gordon Turnbull's retirement from Hermitage Academy in Helensburgh, after 47 years years of being a Geography and Guidance teacher. 

Composed and played by Eilidh Steel (PRS, PPL)

Mr Turnbull's Farewell To Hermitage Academy  Composed By Eilidh Steel  MP3

Composed about the hill behind Helensburgh. Bowie comes from the Gaelic 'buidhe' which probably describes the colour of the hill. 
From one side you get lovely views across Helensburgh and right down the west and south of Scotland to Arran, on the other you see over Loch Lomond and the Luss hills. 

This tune was chosen to be published in the book '25+2' collection compiled by the Scots Fiddle Festival as well as an album by the same name.

Composed and played by Eilidh Steel (PRS, PPL)

Cammy's Tune

I used to be Artistic Director of the Scots Fiddle Festival and I wrote this tune as part of a fundraiser where the tune was auctioned to be named. It had bids from all over the world, in the end the highest bidder was Andrew Johnson in Edinburgh, who's eldest daughter came up with the title 'The Johnsons' Jaunt' since it was a jaunty tune. Pictured are the Johnson family (along with myself) who had just received their framed tune. 

Eilidh Steel - fiddle, Mark Neal - guitar, Allan MacDonald - bodhrán, Siannie Moodie - clàrsach. Recorded at The Sonic Lodge, Edinburgh

Put me in the meal chest, with five bannocks under my head, put me in the meal chest, I will be none the worse for being there.

Gloopy Loop

A commissioned piece of music I wrote and also went over to the Isle of Kerrera on a beautiful sunny day to perform at a couples wedding. The Bride was French and the Groom was Scottish which is why it has the double name (in English 'The New Alliance') and the father of the groom commissioned me to write it as a present for them. 
I played it as the bride walked up the pier to their wedding ceremony which was held outside.
