Notes: From Wikipedia: “Hector the Hero” is a classic lament penned by Scottish composer and fiddler James Scott Skinner in 1903. It was written as a tribute to Major-General Hector MacDonald, a distinguished Scottish general around the turn of the century. MacDonald, a friend of Skinner’s, had not long before committed suicide following accusations of having sexual relations with teenage boys.”
