“The Atholl Highlanders” is a Scottish pipe march, but is also often played as a jig, which is how you’ll learn it in this lesson. It’s in the key of A and has four parts, but there’s a lot of repetition, so it’s not too daunting. Emerald walks you through the first two parts of “The Atholl Highlanders” in this video.
