The 93rd Highlanders were an Infantry regiment of the British Army, active from 1799 – 1881. This 2/4 march was originally composed with two parts by an M. MacKinnon, later a 3rd and 4th parts were added by Donald MacLeod, a piper/composer that frequently added to old tunes.
Throughout the 20th century the practice of adding 3rd and 4th parts to older tunes was quite common. Often this would be done to make tunes fit into the competition format. In this series of lesson Margaret Dunn takes us through some such tunes.
