OK, so, I can't post libations here per se...except pictures, and soothing would that be I must say.
So pour yourself a wee one to see you on your way to dream land...or perhaps, take someone special in your arms and dance a slow, perhaps tender, perhaps elegant step to this tune...or just listen, lights low, maybe flickering candle light, perhaps an ebbing fire...

Lochaber arranged by the musicians of Voices of Music
Francesco Barsanti came to London in 1714, where he performed in the London orchestras. He married a Scotswoman and got to know the folk music of the North, which resulted in some of the most beautiful settings of these tunes.
Lochaber, in the north-west of Scotland, is a wild and rugged place of mountain and moorland, running from the Great Glen to Knoydart on the coast. There are versions of this tune called King James March to Ireland dating from the 17th century. It is known in Ireland as Limerick's Lament.
