Connemara Wreck


 Pibrochpiobaireachd or ceòl mòr is an art music genre associated primarily with the Scottish Highlands that is characterised by extended compositions with a melodic theme and elaborate formal variations. Strictly meaning "piping" in Scottish Gaelicpiobaireachd has for some four centuries been music of the Great Highland Bagpipe.[1] Music of a similar nature, pre-dating the adoption of the Highland pipes, has historically been played on the wire-strung Gaelic harp (clàrsach) and later on the Scottish fiddle, and this form is undergoing a revival.   - ex Wikipedia.

Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland.


 We accessed Mull from Skye, as the ferry for Iona departed there from village of Fionnphort.
