Item Description Angus Campbell is the 2/4 reel in A major ('Tempo 136') that Skinner wrote to follow The Laird o' Drumblair (JSS0081), and could be considered a variation of the tune. His simple bass line uses open fifths to suggest Highland bagpipe drones although several notes take this piece beyond the bagpipe range.
