Òran Na Cloiche

Reel · 4/4 · A minor

Oran Na Cloiche is a traditional Scottish reel composed by the poet Donald MacIntyre of South Uist, who was also known as Baird the Slate. Set in four-four meter and A minor, the tune is played with a lively and rhythmic character suited to traditional highland dancing. Because the historical details surrounding its specific composition are otherwise uncertain, the tune is best known today through its association with MacIntyre's enduring Gaelic verse and musical legacy.
