Program Notes

Loch Lomond is a beautiful and peaceful lake tucked away between the highlands and lowlands of Scotland. Based on a traditional Scottish melody, the piece weaves through the lush imagery of the lake.

- Program Note from publisher


The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond, or Loch Lomond for short, is a Scottish song (Roud No. 9598). The song prominently features Loch Lomond, the largest Scottish loch, located between the council areas of West Dunbartonshire, Stirling and Argyll and Bute. Historian Murray G. H. Pittock writes that the song "is a Jacobite adaptation of an eighteenth-century erotic song, with the lover dying for his king, and taking only the 'low road' of death back to Scotland." It is one of many poems and songs that emerged from Jacobite political culture in Scotland.
