For the intermediate harp player who loves Scotland, this is a piece that gives great payoff for minimal effort!

Difficulty Level and Skills Required: Early-intermediate: The right hand melody has some syncopation but it is fairly straight forward in terms of fingering. The left hand uses a variety of chord shapes but with long notes so theres plenty of time for placing. There are a number of rolled chords.
