Calum's Road
Calum's Road is a contemporary Scottish strathspey in four-four time composed in D major by accordionist Donald Shaw. Characterized by the steady, dotted rhythm and driving pulse typical of traditional highland dance music, the tune is played with a lively and uplifting style. It was written to honor Calum MacRae, who famously and single-handedly built a road on the Isle of Raasay over a period of ten years to connect his remote community to the rest of the island.
