Bagpipe Music from Smokey Smith's Funeral

[Gill557]

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone could tell me which Bagpipe tunes were played during Smokey's funeral.  One of them stuck in my head and I was hoping to find out its name so I could get a copy.
It was played outside the church, and started by a lone piper before the entire pipes and drums joined in.

Any help would be appreciated.

G-Man, unfortunately I didn't see Smokey's Funeral and do not know which pipe tune was played but from your description it sounds like Amazing Grace. This tune often begins with a solo Piper playing and then the rest of the band joins in. The Pipes and Drums of the 48th Highlanders have a fine rendition of this tune on their CD "Abide With Me".

Actually if memory serves the tune in question was "Highland Cathedral". It is a pretty popular tune so you should be able to find many recordings.

Highland Cathedral is also on the 48th CD

The Calgary Highlanders put it on their CD in 1990, played with the Carthy Organ as accompaniment.
