Each tune is named after a lost castle. You may visit Castles on the Web for extensive castle research. The songs on this page start out as rough ideas that I might want to develop later. Hence, there could be intermittent refinements and modifications. Any revision shall be indicated in the song description. Thank you for listening.

Castle Urquhart stands on a rocky promontary on the north shore of Loch Ness, Scotland. It existed during the reign of William the Lion (1165-1214), likely a wooden fortification. The Anglo-Norman, Alan Durward was the first recorded Lord of Urquhart, and he refashioned the castle during the reign of Alexander II (1214-1249). |
