The Bell Rock is a lighthouse, situated at the mouth of the River Tay.
Coincidentally it is also the name of a local hostelry near his home, and
being the easier to get to he has named the tune after the latter. The
following tune is The Fittie Boatman by Ian
Blair from Aberdeen. "Composed by an ex Scots Guards piper, this tune
is a tribute to a friend, the late Ronald Cowper. Cowper was a 'fittie
(Foot of Dee) boatman'. The fittie boatmen work in Aberdeen Harbour plying
their trade which is helping to secure boats tying up alongside the
harbour." |
