    Okay, I have this foolish pride thing that I can find almost anything on the net. That's not always true but follow me here.

    First clue: from the Clan Donnachaidh Music page
    Another famous clan pipe tune is the "Laird of Struan's Salute", also known as the "Coming of the Robertsons" which legend has it was played as the clan marched to Bannockburn in 1314.
    Second clue: several sources say it is famous, so we're missing something here.

    Third clue: try variations of Laird of Struan's Salute and find Struan Robertson's Salute and variations of that.

    Fourth clue: that is a famous tune on many web sites.

    If this is all correct, you'll recognize the famous tune right away here .

    That's from the cd Best of Scottish Pipes & Drums at Amazon.com, but now somebody else might be able to give a version they really like.

    Of course, I could be dead wrong on all this.
