I attended my local Burns supper recently and after dinner they had a ceilidh.
They asked if anyone wanted to participate to feel free. I'm definately not a singer or storyteller but I do enjoy playing mandolin but I didn't bring it and I really never learned any Scottish songs. So I decided to pull out my cittern (10 string similar sound to a guitar) and work on a few for next year. I listened to Wild Mountain Thyme and came up with a reasonable version on the cittern. Now I'd like to learn a few more. Does anyone have some favorite tunes they think would sound good as an instrumental? I'm thinking that the simpler the melody the better like WM Thyme.

BTW. My cittern was made in Scotland by William Kelday.
