aka "MacFoset's Farewell," "Macpherson's Rant," "Macpherson's Farewell," "McFarsance's Testament," "MacFossett's Farewell," "The Freebooter".

The melody is popularly thought to have been composed by one of Scotland's first so-called 'fiddle composers', the legendary James Macpherson (1675–1700), "on the eve of execution, by Himself, 1700".

It seems the best legends are those that embroider true facts; that a freebooter named MacPherson was hanged in Banff in 1700 is a matter of record. It is a matter of belief, however, that he composed and played the rant which now bears his name, though the broken remains of the fiddle he supposedly played that day can be seen in the Macpherson Clan Museum at Newtonmore.

In my Celtic Rock rendition I sing and play the guitars, banjos (Tenor and Plectrum) and Octave Mandolin.
I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
