- John Mason's beautiful air, rendered here on octave mandolin and guitar. He was the co-founder, musical director, and conductor of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra from its creation in 1980 until his death in 2011.
Portencross is a small village in North Ayrshire and apparently has a particular form of geranium which grows there, hence the title of the tune. It has the preserved remains of an ancient castle and was the port from which the bodies of ancient Scottish kings were taken by ship to Iona for burial.
My pictures were all taken along the banks of the River Almond at Huntingtower in Perthshire last week.
lovely music and images... restful for eyes and ears... thanks
Thanks so much,Toomas.
Such a great tune!
Many thanks, Liz. It sounded great yesterday at the Archive session with all the fiddlers playing.
Lovely! 😊
Thanks so much, Angela.
What a lovely, flowing tune.
It is a lovely tune, Pris. Hope you liked the flowers from the banks of the River Almond too!
@@JohnsMandolinUk Yes, I recognised them, John. it was a lovely walk.
Peaceful and pastoral , with an interesting harmonic tweak at 1:25 😎
Thanks, Bertram.
This is just lovely John. I think your Thursday group should play it. I quite enjoyed the fills and the octave with guitar. Write and let me know how Perthshire was. I am gone on Tuesday and don't know when we will have internet..not too long I hope. Talk soon.
Thanks, Ginny. Hope the move goes well and you are not offline for too long. All the best to you both in your new home. Email on its way! 😘
