Taught/practised on:
David Queen (son of Alex T. Queen who devised Angus MacLeod) is a member of Scottish Measure, a composer and
has devised many dances himself including Burnieboozle and The Bridgewater Geordie.
The recommended tune is Calum’s Road by Donald Shaw, the accordionist in Capercaillie. It commemorates
Calum MacLeod of Raasay who, when the local council refused to build a road to his croft, hand-built the two-
mile road himself, taking ten years to complete it.
