The Gael: Bagpipes #SlowAirSunday

This beautiful #SlowAirSunday is a gorgeous scottish tune written by Dougie MacLean. Dougie MacLean's most famous pieces include "The Gael", from his 1990 album The Search, which was adapted by Trevor Jones as the main theme to The Last of the Mohicans (1992); and "Caledonia", from his first album. MacLean was the subject of the 1993 BBC documentary film The Land: The Songs of Dougie MacLean. Aside from his career as a touring singer-songwriter, MacLean founded the Dunkeld Records label and recording studio with his wife Jennifer in 1983.

Dougie MacLean, OBE (born 27 September 1954) is a Scottish singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Described by AllMusic as "one of Scotland's premier singer-songwriters", MacLean has performed under both his own name, and as part of multiple folk bands, since the mid 1970s

Location information: Devil's Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area. Also known as a popular Vortex spot in Sedona. Don't let its name fool you, it's one of the most heavenly sights in an area famous for them. From a trailhead elevation of 4,600 feet, there's a mere 400 foot climb in altitude during this moderately difficult, 1.8-mile roundtrip trek.

Your rendition of The Gael is superb, when stationed at Al-Taqaddum Air Base Iraq at night a Marine would play the pipes a few nights a week. The Gael was one of those songs, along with Amazing Grace. To this day I remember how his playing would echo across the base. Thank you for your support of our Veteran's

Thank you. You keep getting even better. Some New Englanders here are thinking of bagpiping thanks to you.

Beautiful music. Sedona is magnificent. However, you made me so nervous standing on the narrowest portion of the bridge. Just a few steps away was a much broader & flatter place to stand👍

Outstanding performance I give you a superior rating.

Wow.... Really cool video, lady. Nice.... Hi, from Montana. 😉

[andyrichardsvideovlogs]

Outstanding. The Gael is one of my top 10 pieces of music of all time, so mystical and haunting.
Whilst not being the forests of North Carolina, your location is just as mystical and almost beyond time itself

[MS-ptxz]
