"Campbell's Farewell to Redcastle", also known as "Campbell's Farewell to Red Gap" or<br> "Steph's Reel" is a Scottish march in 2/4 time and A Mixolydian.<br> The parts are played AABB' (Gatherer, Martin) or AABBCC (Johnson).<br> The Campbell referred to in the title may be Captain Robert Campbell of Glenlyon, who<br> led troops in the massacre of Glencoe Pass in 1692 following the Jacobite uprising of<br> 1689-92.<br> Redcastle is a village on the north side of Beauly Firth<br> approximately 100 miles from Glencoe. The castle was built in 1179 (it claims<br> to be the oldest inhabited castle in Scotland). The Scots Guards Standard Pipe<br> Settings suggests that "The Sweet Maid of Glendaruel" follow "Campbell's Farewell<br> to Redcastle". Glendaruel is on the way to Tighnabruaich from Glencoe and is nearly<br> as far to the south as Redcastle is to the north.<br> It was printed in Gatherer's Gatherer's Musical Museum (1987),<br> S. Johnson's Kitchen Musician No. 4: Fine Tunes (1983, revised 1991, 2001)<br> Martin's Ceol na Fidhle, vol. 2 (1988),<br> Ross's Collection [of] Pipe Music (1885).<br> It was recorded by Abby Newton on Flowers of Edinburgh.<br> "Campbell's Farewell to Red Gap" is an American version of the Scottish march.<br> It was recorded by Bruce Hutton on Old Time Music, Its All Around and<br> John McCutecheon on The Wind That Shakes the Barley (1977).<br> <br>
