I don't have my OS maps to hand so can't confirm, but from memory Corriechoillie is an estate farm somewhere around the High Bridge - Tirndrish area, just out of Fort William. Cameron of Corriechoillie, there is a picture of him somewhere (sorry for being vague, most of my stuff is in Glasgow just now), was one of those archtypal Highlanders who supported things Scottish like the Northern Meeting piping competitions. He was one of the last drovers in the Highlands (there must surely be a reference to him in Haldane's Drove Roads of Scotland). The tune went almost hand in glove with another 2 parted 2/4 called 'Teribus' and as such was an absolute classic pairing played by the vast majority of pipe bands until about the 1960s. Incidentally, you might find the place by trying one of the better on line map search guides. best of luck Bruce Campbell Check out our WEB SITE http://home.btconnect.com/brucecampbell Duntroon Publishing Publishers of Celtic World and other quality Scottish Traditions books and magazines Editorial: Tel 077 5984 5201 Central Hall, 304 Maryhill Road, Glasgow G20 7YE Business & Accounts: t/f 0151 651 0095 120 St Oswalds Avenue, Prenton, Wirral CH43 7ZH >From: Kay and Greg Blackburn <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [SCT-INV] Where is "Corryohully" >Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 11:13:00 +1300 > >Thanks for that Bruce. > >It looks like there could be a good story to tell here.
