The Reel of the Blue Loch

This reel is named after the Kinloch Anderson Blue Loch tartan and recalls the dancing flow of Scotland’s rivers and the coastal waves as they roll across her windswept beaches. The tartan itself evokes the blue skies and the deep blue of Scotland’s lochs on a fine Summer’s day. and also represents the blue and white of the Scottish flag.
