Schiehallion, a medley devised by Hugh Thurston.

Schiehallion is a Munro in Perthshire. Seen from the west its shape is an almost perfect cone, and it is reasonably easy to climb with great views. Schiehallion was used in 1774 for an experiment to estimate the mass of the Earth by means of the deflection of a pendulum by the mass of the mountain. Musicians: Jon Bews (fiddle), Reuben Taylor (accordion), James Gray (piano) Dancers: RSCDS Edinburgh Branch Demonstration team
