Websites for free sheet music ?
Any good suggestions for websites where I can download or just access free sheet music for traditional music, particularly traditional Scottish?
Very specifically, I'm looking for the sheet music for a slip jig called the Lochaber Dance. I've heard a very nice version of that played on UPs and border pipes.

www.session.org but you can just 'google' for specific tunes.

I'm sure it's been posted before but if you copy and paste the ABC into this webpage it will give you it as dots.

Here is one of the best places for Scottish tunes. The site also has a page on whistling in Scottish music.
Very cool site; thanks! I found this page with some interesting whistle recordings.Steve Bliven wrote:Another option is the Folk Archive Resource North East (FARNE) site at www.asaplive.com/farne/home.cfm

Hi PJ,
here is a link to a web site which is dedicated to the GHP. I found the tune you search, but it is writted for GHP, so it needs to be adapted for the UP.
You can find a lot of other scottish tune, enjoy !
